Last year when we came up here we decided to work on altered books. I began an elaborate effort, which never got finished. Today I started and finished an entire book. It's called The Strange Woman, a title I thought strangely appropriate, but with nothing to do with what I did. Here is a picture of my finished effort:

It's not much of an effort, but I was pleased to finally finish something. I tried to walk on the beach this morning. The lake is unusually high; most of the sand is gone. None of us had any plans to swim, although it would still be possible. Sandy and I finally walked along the road and over to the bridge over the creek.

On the little bit of sand.

More pictures to come.
