Lake Massapoag

Today instead of heading to the Blue Hills, S and I tried out another spot in nature not too far from us - Lake Massapoag in Sharon, Mass.

The weather today was magnificent, absolutely perfect. It was sunny, 71 degrees Fahrenheit, with cool breezes and low humidity. Other than a few fisher people and a random assortment of other couples hiking, it was a deserted place surrounded with kids' day camps that have yet to open for the summer.

We took a short walk around a span of the lake, played frisbee in an open clearing by one of the camps, and relaxed as we overlooked the Lake for a while, taking it in and enjoying our time.

On days like this, it is easier to appreciate the presence of God all around - in the air, in the trees, even in the simple actions we take that just seem lighter because of how gorgeously the day has come together.
