We have made it a point to go swimming every day at the lake for some much needed exercise.
We have gone to this lake for 28 summers and it has only been closed a couple of times due to Bluegreen Algae that covers the whole lake.

I had such a great surprise the other afternoon.
We were swimming at the lake about 5:30 in the afternoon.

I must admit that I am not a big fan of the Octopus, in fact, they actually give me the creeps with all those suction cups and that beak of a mouth.
Not to mention all those moving arms and that shapeless body.
Nope, not a fan at all.
But I have to admit that they are quite [...]
