Today was absolutely fabulous.  I woke up at 9 (after about 10 hours of sleep) and the weather was beautiful - everything was beautiful.  I spent the day reading in the warm sunshine by the lake, playing games with my sisters and Grandma, swimming, and eating good food.  The only sad part was my growing conviction that the cabin is the best place in the whole world durning the summer, coupled with the knowledge that my grandparents are planning to sell it next year. 

'Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.'
-Robert Frost
