They climbed on top of the mat the kids and grandkids used to play on. Then a duck and her 7 ducklings did too, but I was paddling with my son-in-law and didn’t get a photo.
So much wildlife on the Lake of the Ozarks!
Still working on edits on Bear in Pursuit!
Have a terrific day!

Ha Ha Tonka Castle in Camdenton, Mansion of the Lake of the Ozarks, built in the 1900s and burned down in 1947.
The kids took me to see it, knowing how much I like to see castles/ruins.
I’m still working on Bear in Pursuit.
Had a moment to straighten up the house because my granddaughter won’t be here for the next four days. I have a repairman coming to hopefully fix my recliner tomorrow, which buckles when I try to open it. I use it all the time and the dogs cuddle with me while I’m working. It’s part of a unit so I can’t just buy a new one. But repairing it will probably cost as much as a new recliner!
Hope you all are having a great day!!!

There was so much wildlife around the Ozarks. We saw a mink go into a hole lakeside below a cabin, but we were paddling a paddlewheeler and I didn’t have my phone with me to capture it. Deer were all over. A heron kept landing on gray rocks that I couldn’t capture either. A beaver was crossing the road. We even saw a family of wild boars in Texas on the way up there. And the swallows undercover at the Mexican restaurant.
We saw bats at night, leaving caves, and ducks and their ducklings. And carp at the lake below the cave we went through, and some other fish my granddaughter kept catching and releasing.
I’m off to work on more edits on Bear in Pursuit before my granddaughter arrives. We’re working on spelling, writing, reading, and math through the summer to get a head start on 4th grade. I’m so grateful she’s here for the summer like she has been every summer before I got so sick last year. So we’ve been working on HEB, Girl Scout, and library reading goals.
If I could, I’d take her swimming, but I can’t get into the water yet. Boo.
Have a super fun-filled day!!

They were perfectly happy to watch all the patrons who were coming and going beneath them. I saw a huge nest, missed getting a photo of it, when I saw mom and dad nearby. We were dealing with terrific thunderstorms, but the birds were completely dry and happy!

Tiny itty bitty little mushrooms that popped up under the tomato plants. That means the soil is healthy! We had 1.5″ of rain yesterday, more coming.
I saw several bell peppers coming out too. I’ll take a picture when they’re a little bigger. I usually end up with one or two, so I was excited to see so many.
Managed to get some work done on the jaguar book, hand writing it so need to type up my notes. I might be up to 3,000 words, 77,000 to go!
Have a lovely day!!
