Mocha and I took a walk yesterday to check out the bog area. We found a lot of deer tracks and Mocha had a high old time racing through the grass. She's getting a little gray around the edges but still has the energy of a puppy when it comes to exploring.

The leaves of this Burning Bush are one of the last points of color in the camp now. Last week's wind and rain sent the last of the yellow birch leaves swirling to the ground and this past weekend was all about the leaf cleanup. We were all out there raking and tarping and wheel-barrowing leaves---funny, I never noticed how many leaf-y trees were mixed in with all the pines up here!

Our camp is graced by the Dealing brothers this week--they use Kemosabe as a reunion point each year and they bring a great energy with them; calm, peaceful and happy to be together for their own little reunion. I think it's soo cool that they take time out of their busy lives to get together each year to reconnect and enjoy each other's company.
