Lake Midge
Before harvest engulfed us and made itself the number one priority, an encore visit to my cousins in Minnesota was in order. Their cabin is on Lake Midge near Bemidji. For those of us that have been fortunate to spend time in Minnesota, we know why it is the state of a thousand lakes (vs North Dakota as the state of a million sloughs). It is also a place of great serenity and peacefulness. This is especially true when the loons sing. What beautiful and melancholy songs between lovers, bobbing heads, and diving into the cool waters. A pair of loons promenaded around our canoe while John and I traversed through the Lilly pads. I was amazed at how close they came to our boat. They seems to enjoy the company, or was it that they were so engrossed in their own play? In either case they were a joy to us.
