Sibylle, my friend for Austria, is visiting me for three weeks. She was overjoyed when she saw my beautiful swimming pool, thinking it was only a little pool to dip in. She is sitting outside as I write this soaking up the very hot Redding sun. Yestderday we decided to do a litte hike by Whiskeytown lake. We walked along a trail that follows the shoreline of the lake until we discovered a little secluded swimming spot. Having worn our bathing suits in peparation, we left our sweaty hiking clothes behind as we swam in the relatively warm lake water. Ahhh...what a good morning!
