Day 15, Zero Day, 12 Pancakes, Tutie and Kayaks

July 28
Zero Day!
We had a relaxing day. We had breakfast at Harrison's with Unitic. Breakfast include 12 pancakes, 2 eggs, 2 sausages, 4 cups of coffee and juice. Needless to say, we all finished our plates. Hiker hunger developed? Check!
After breakfast, we sat and talked with Tim Harrison, the owner of Pierce Pond Camps. Unitic got on his way to finish his hike and NotYet and I were enjoying the backporch at Harrison's with Tutie, Tim's adorable black miniature poodle. There were more hummingbirds than we could count at four feeders. We got real close and stood still and they hovered around us, not minding us at all. Meanwhile Tutie, who is smart as a whistle, would bring us a toy. We would throw it over the porch onto the first floor. She would study to see where it landed, go over and down the stairs and bring the toy back up! She also outsmarted us when we put a pile of treats on the table. She tricked us into looking the other way and grabbed the last treat! Tutie  also liked to growl and Bonnie (a stuffed something or other) and bark at Clyde (a big moose head on the wall). The view from the back porch was breaktaking. Surrounded by greenery, we looked over at a waterfall in the distance and a footbride going over the river. The perfect spot to relax!
After a while, Tim offered to let us take his kayaks out....Um....yes! We enjoyed an hour or two out on the lake, surrounded by sun and calm beauty.
Nighttime brought a raging fire and an early night's rest. It was the zero perfect day!
