We had a beautiful dinner on the beach last night with friends.. Angel-Blue swam for an hour.I think she is part mermaid .The sky is getting moodier ,the clouds are rolling in .Part of me is sad to see the long hot days give way to fall.It seems there is never enough time in a summer to do all the things we want to do .It would be nice to have at least another month to slowly enjoy the season.We have done a lot of fun stuff..but unless we want to live like the "Toronto-busy-people " we once were...it would be impossible to do everything.Our new life is not about cramming stuff in.Sometimes I feel like a hippy when I see the tourists efficiently going about their summer business. Probably they have a list of" Hornby-activities" that all get completed in two weeks flat. It's hard to explain,but part of the joy of living here is the pace.It is the fact that we don't hurry much.Except to catch the ferry.So we only kayaked a bit this summer instead of athletically a lot.We only hiked up one mountain .We camped , slept under the stars ,rode our bikes here and there.We cooked on a beach fire almost daily..till the fire ban took effect. We participated in a few community events. This summer has felt like the leisurely summers of old.It's why we moved here.We are really enjoying the slow-life.
