Transitions

Sometimes the line between seasons in North Idaho can be a bit blurry. Less than a week away from the official start of autumn, temperatures in the almost-90s have made for some lazy late afternoons on Lake Coeur d'Alene. It won't be long until my suntanned toes are tucked into real shoes and socks and the water will be far too chilly for swimming and wading. But for a few more fleeting moments of summer I intend to take every opportunity to splash and wade and feel the sand on my feet.
