Sometimes, it is hard to say good bye... Summer has seemed so short this year...having trouble wrapping my mind around this transition.
To me, I see it as "until next time"...Here's one more look at a couple of good things re: waning Summer and transition time.
Here's Jace...capping a morning of fishing off with a sno-cone...oh yes!
Another happy young man, Michael with his 4 lb. catch...just love these smiles!
Trying to say good bye to flip flops...
and flowers...need to switch to the positives of moving on...
A change in seasons does allow for a trip or two to catch up on things...
and to have time to notice the small things...have been hearing about hummingbird moths and I think that is what I saw on this trip. Actually, it was fairly good sized!
That day, heading back to the Island, the winds were strong. Although the angle seemed unique (to me) it wasn't too surprising to see a sailboat nosed into the tire adjacent to our ferry, given the wind. 
This is the time of year to try to pull off one last ride...one last run up the Lake. That was just what brothers Jeff and Tim Bennett were up to when Mother Nature had a different idea...although the jib was reefed, the gusts were hard to calculate.
The wind disabled the sheave in the block (pulley) severing the line. However that same wind brought Evening Star in range of that tire and kept it "on point" until arrangements could be made with understanding ferry reps for a short stay to make the needed repairs. 
On another note, let me add that dredging has started on the ferry channel.
Take Note...
Friday...
At the TPAC...
Saturday...
Island Artist Cathy Meader will be exhibiting her work at the upcoming show "Sharing Summer's Artistic Bounty" at Briggsville Gardens!
Planning to be off Island this coming Saturday? Take a detour to Briggsville Gardens ... out of Sturgeon Bay, turn east on TT at the signal where the YMCA is located...travel on TT to Mathey Road, then turn right. The Open House will run from 1 to 5 pm. Cathy says there will be ten artists showing their work. Come and wander these beautiful gardens!
Have a great week!
