Hey is that a beautiful lake in that pic. Sure looks inviting !!! Be sure to step back and look at the forest and not just the tree right in front of you. Hanging your bare feet in the water off the pier will do wonders for sore feet.
The water temperature at the surface is like a hot bath. I'm not sure my throbbin' dogs are looking for more heat. But.... Every morning, after my big ol' cup of caffeinated motivation, I go out around 6:30 and start laying out the day's plan in my head. First stop is up the stairs and over to the row of picture windows to look out over the pond as the sun (coming up directly behind me) is just starting to illuminate the trees at the far end of the pond. I usually say something to myself like "this is why I'm doin' this"
