Hello Susan:
As, sadly, swimming is not our forte, we shall not be joining you in a dive from the dock. However, it all looks wonderful and we should definitely be up for dangling our toes in the water. Enjoy!!

Cute toes! I used to swim in a river too when I was a kid. Nice except for the occasional leech.

many hours of my youth were spent in a river that ran through our farm - wonderful experiences. Enjoy your swims.

Beautiful!!! You know we were just looking at moving to White Rock?!! We decided no, because of the kids starting school etc...but it was looking soooooooooooooo tempting!!

Thanks for visiting my blog!

I like this scene (your toes, the ladder going down, the clear river water).

Haven't the mosquitoes been awful this year? They've just recently disappeared here in the great northeast. It's been a good summer, but filled with biting bugs. Do you have black flies where you are?

BTW your book is in the mail!!!

Thanks for riding along, Dear

What a beautiful setting. Too bad you had to wait until mid August before you could swim in the river though. Enjoy it while it lasts!
