Hot today.

Same bee – maybe. Same cone flower – definitely.

Lazy sort of a day today. It’s hot. But, it is summer. Thinking about a little train trip to somewhere cooler or beachy. Most likely will not do anything. But, I can think about it. 

Still have lots of photos from the trip to process. Thought I would show you how skillful a barge captain has to be.

Going through a lock.

left side – don’t think barges have port and starboard sides.
right side – there weren’t 3 inches to spare on either side.

If the lock had a tender the Captain always gave the tender a beverage and maybe a pastry after she got our barge safely nestled in the lock. One day we went through 16 locks but most days it was about 7 or 8. 

Late Evening on the Barge
