Weekend Adventures With Merwin

Tuesday, May 29, 2018

It was a great weekend up at Round Pond welcoming our first guests of the season! Pete and his crew tackled some projects around the house, fixing an electrical issue, securing a bench and table, rigging up new lighting in the bunkhouse, floating the raft out, and repairing the base of the canoe. We repeated a short hike we did last year and Merwin tore around the trail and surrounding forest, challenging any notion that he is on his last legs. It was such a pleasure to see him dashing around like a banshee, happy as can be in his element. He also took a swim in neighboring Great East Lake, though oddly continues to refuse a dip in Round Pond. He wasn't pumped to be part of our Monday afternoon flotilla but I can guarantee he would prefer riding in the canoe than remaining alone on shore. He's living the life, no matter how much he has left.
