Hello!
That was a long title! But it was a busy week again!
🪵🪵🪵🪵🪵🪵
It all started with a project that sounded like a good idea at the time—cutting down a tree. The tree is half gone, and today I am feeling every aching muscle. I am not getting old… just older! The tree is only half gone because I didn’t want to overwhelm the sanitation workers. The rest of it will come down this upcoming week. The hard part is done. Now, where is the Ibuprofen?
Edinboro Lantern Festival
On a much more relaxing note, we attended the 2nd annual Edinboro Lantern Festival at the lake. What a fun event! Friends of ours organize this event. It is so much fun to see the community come together and enjoy the surroundings!
Plus, everyone can enjoy s’mores, or have delicious food from a food truck!
There was face painting for the kids and flower crowns for anyone who wanted one.
Even an Eagle joined us.
As darkness came, hundreds of lanterns were released. At first, they hugged the shore as the wind kept bringing them in. But eventually they floated out, creating a beautiful sight. What made it even more special was knowing that the proceeds from the event support our local food pantry. It was one of those community gatherings that reminds you how much good can happen when people come together. So good for the soul. And after the event a few wonderful people gathered up all the lanterns so they didn’t litter the lake.
Boat Is In
We also got the boat back in the water this week. A few days later we stopped by to take it out for a ride and discovered a surprise—a duck had laid two eggs in our boat! I made sure to get the eggs to shore near a female Mallard. She looked at me like… what? I already have two!
After that craziness, we headed out for a lovely ride on the lake and enjoyed one of those peaceful summer afternoons that we love.
A Milestone for Me
This showed up in my WordPress Notifications!
Thank You!
And finally, I reached a milestone that completely caught me by surprise—100,000 blog views! Considering I only post once a week, I think that’s pretty good. More than the number itself, I appreciate all of you who stop by, read, comment, and share in our adventures. This little blog started as a way to chronicle life, and it continues because of the wonderful people who follow along.
The tree may have left me sore, and I groan when I get up from a chair. Still, this week also reminded me how wonderful life can be—good friends, fun community events, unexpected surprises, quiet moments on the water, and friends from all over the world who visit this little corner of Blogworld.
Life is busy, sometimes exhausting, but filled with simple joys! Thanks for enjoying another Tuesday Tidbits.
