HANGIN’ OUT … ENJOYING YOUR JOI DE VIVRE
At the height of the season, living the pandemic takes ingenuity and joi de vive.
That joyfulness, delight, zest and pleasure is evident everywhere, as the world kicks up its heels and trying times.
Like Julia and Rachel Taylor who were hangin’ out on a tree at the Gravenhurst High School yesterday.
The 12-year-old grade 7 twins at Muskoka Beechgrove School were perched on a pine tree branch like a pair of blue birds enjoying a bird’s eye view, while their mom, Christine, and their golden lab were content with a safer terra firma perspective.
Even dogs large and small are up for getting out and aboot.
At the end of the peninsula at the Muskoka Wharf in Gravenhurst, a sunbather, a couple in a canoe and a soloist in a brilliant yellow watercraft played in the Muskoka Lake, while a sailboat breezed by in Gravenhurst Bay.
It’s been that kind of slow return to life.
A Boat Tour returns from up the lakes, a float plane gliding down behind it.
The annual antique and classic boat show may have been a no-show, but there have been plenty of boats large and small.
Gravenhurst boat builder Scott Timpano tied up a sleek new 18-foot light aluminium racing number — one of 300 various kinds of boats he says he’s built.
All across Muskoka it’s the same pictures, as the sunny rays and days turn exhaustion to exuberance.
If this is the beginning of the end of COVID-19, let the fun and games and business begin.
Enjoy!
