Fishing Day in the Adirondacks

Another beautiful day (but still too cold for flip flops)...

Between Turtle and Sprang Ponds

The boys...fishing in the pitch-perfect pond.

Alex and youngest brother David. Looking almost alike, they blend into their dangerous Adirondack habitat.

All that work today and still no fish! They left, bought fishing licenses, and latched the canoe to the car. All day, and NO FISH. I get hungry by the end of the day...we ended up having steak :) (all photos courtesy of J. Sonneborn)

The last 2 hours

The last two hours of my life have been spent looking up skirts...specifically ann demeulemeester and dries van noten skirts. After being a dress girl for the past two years (easy, effortless) i've been thinking i want to tack up my style quotient on this my 23rd year...

a typical ann demeulemeester skirt, beautiful and basic and lovely

I had a lovely day today though. I'm in Green Pond (Adirondacks, Upper New York State), enjoying my relaxing Memorial Day Weekend. It's consistently my favorite weekend of the year...

at Donnelly's Ice Cream in Donnelly's Corners (Route 86). Memorial Day 2007.

My man's family owns a cabin up here (on Green Pond, nearish to Saranac Lake and Lake Placid) and every Memorial Day (this is my third time, wow) we come up and indulge in a) Gap Outlet/Bass shopping (I know it's silly but we all love it and there's ALWAYS deals...) b) Taking in a movie in the super-old movie house in Lake Placid (no cash) c) "Opening Weekend" at Donnelly's Ice Cream (no cash) d) Smores on the fire(place) f) Hiking/Fishing/Canoeing/Sailing...tomorrow we're going fishing & picnicing for lunch!

Mmm...Weekend

Up at the Adirondacks for the weekend...

Awesome pictures, I thought. Alex...hmm...not so much.

The "sun" was "burning" Alex's retinas, here enjoying some red raspberry ice cream at Donnelly's.
p.s. do you loooove my Adirondacks garb?

I'm weird and I actually like taxidermy, but this is too...accurate.
