	July 3rd through 9th, 2023

Last week started off hot. Then came some much needed rain. Then came more mild temperatures. It was unlikely that the hot could hang around all summer, so the cool off was expected, although the Friday morning low of 42°F was just plain mean.

During last week's celebrated hot period, the place to be was under the lake.

Just on top of the water was okay, too.

The lake temperature recovered a bit. Diving for golf balls could last long enough to prune fingers and toes before the shivering set in.

There were two ski shows on Lucerne in front of Waters Edge last week. Both were great.

During the night before the second ski show, it rained. We got an inch on the north end of the lake. This was good, but we need more.

After the ski shows, it got cooler. The lake was seen steaming off its heat during more than one cold morning (We need to have a talk with Friday. 42°F? Friday, you need to do better.)

It did not get cold enough to knock the baby limes from the bar's lime tree. We're not sure if they will get big enough or pollinated to make it into drinks by Labor Day, but they are still attached.

The cold did not seem to harm this year's duck crop. On the north end of Lucerne, many piers have sprouted small bushes of ducklings.

Floating patches of webbed feet and feathers have also been observed just off shore, too.

Last week, the north end of the lake got a little rough at times.

On the weekend, we attended a wedding that included an amazing singer, great food, and a bride that knows a thing or two about mowing a field.

There were so many noteworthy parts to the event, it was hard to pick the best ones, but the flower girls ranked up there.

Then just when you thought the best was over, there was gelato!

Congratulations Zach and Francesca! May your marriage be as wonderful as your wedding! The 4th of July also happened last week. The random sounds of things blowing up are still echoing off the hills. The inch of rain we got was enough to begin to un-stress trees and green up lawns, but we need more. Just not during games of tennis, campfires and ski runs.<br><br><br>-Nemo's cracking an energy drink to wash down a few ibuprofen.
