I walked Ripple down to my shore lot yesterday. It was the first time I’ve been down there since the fourth of July. I walk and walk two miles to get there and then there is always a certain white rock that I sit on, which is right by the water. It has a smooth top and even a little shelf where I can rest my camera. I can put my feet in the water if I want to. The rock, of course, has been there since the beginning of time. It’s about the size of a large footstool.
Anyway, yesterday, I came down, and….. NO ROCK!!!!
I thought I might be losing my mind at first. I looked around just in case I had come to the wrong spot. But after 16 years of walking down here and sitting on this thing, well. …. I know where it was.
I think Vickie and I sat on it. I will have to check my Facebook page.
Anyway it had to be quite an effort to get it out of there. Of course, I am livid! Whoever took it came onto private property, and this is theft.
Drummond is loaded with rocks. But there is nothing close to this one that would really serve as a replacement.
Rode Trudy to the beach yesterday too. I will try to post photos to my blog later. That was another disturbing thing – I haven’t been there in four years, since before Scorch died. They have dredged it out or something, and all that wonderful hard, clean sand has been replaced by muck and swamp grass.
People are idiots!!!! I could scream.
The horses, however, had fun anyway.

ya would THINK whomever could have done with any other rock......I like your art, I did a lot of pastel when I was a kid, eventually I will get back into that media, right now I'm just trying to catch up on acrylic painting.
Nancy, Oh, how I wish I was there with you, it always looks so beautiful and I have never been to Drummond Island, someday, my friend, someday......the rock theft is a real bummer, people ARE idiots, your'e right about that. Why would they have dredged it out?? Doesn't make any sense.
By the way........I did anonymous because I don't want to deal with opening a google account and all that so.......Hunter,Lucy,Obi,Nik, now do you know who I am....???Mmmmmmm.
