June 18, 2013. A Colorful Last Day in Door County.

 

 

June 18, 2013.  A Colorful Last Day in Door County.  We will leave with the rising sun in the morning.  It has been a relaxing three-plus weeks in the Northwoods of Wisconsin and Michigan and Door County in particular.  People will ask, "What did you do?"  We really don't know.  We didn't write the great American novel.  We didn't discover any new life-saving drugs.  We didn't do anything great.  The only good thing we did was renew ourselves.  That is enough. 

We did make one final trip to Wilson's Restaurant this evening for another lick of ice cream.  We took our ice cream across the street and sat on a bench overlooking the dock of the bay.  The water was still and there was little traffic moving on the street.  There were a few boaters returning to the dock from an evening of fishing.  One small dingy departed the dock with a fisherman and his dog aboard.  The sun was low in the west and the water was still.  We were stirred by chimes originating from one of the church steeples I've shown you on these pages.  At first, I thought they were chiming the hour.  Then, I realized it was music.  Within the first few notes, we knew it was Annie's favorite hymn, How Great Thou Art.  It was perfect timing and perfect music to cap a perfect evening and a wonderful trip. 

I'll try to wrap all this up when we get home, sometime later this week.  In the meantime, I thought you might enjoy seeing what we've seen this week.  Here is colorful Door County.
