Things I saw, smelled, heard and tasted during Labor Day weekend: the full moon: coyotes howling in the night; several pelicans (they are huge); a bear (we were in a car); Jupiter; Tolstoy blown helplessly across a lake in a rubber raft with his son and my daughter on board (everyone is fine); lotsa deer; the best campstove dinner I've ever had - Dancehall's fried knish and marinated portabello mushroom poem of a meal; the patter of rain on the roof of the tent as we fell asleep; Scorpio, Sagittarius, Cassiopeia, the Dippers; morning fog drifting across the surface of a lake; a rainbow; the Florissant Fossil Beds; sitting at a campfire with good friends as the night sky revealed itself; the evocative smell of the campfire on my clothes the next day.

Editor's note: It was actually gnocchi, not knish, but thank you, I'm glad you liked dinner. *s*
Tolstoy is lucky he's not living the War part of War and Peace.
Knish, gnocchi. Potato, potahto. Still the best camping meal I've ever had.
Sounds near-perfect to me.. and pretty much how I spent last week.. though with different critters and a lesser moon. :)
Your kidlets are adorable.
Yes they are, Hil. Your cabin critters are adorable too.
