  4. A lot of activity, I suspect constantly. The days are so long right now that even the early arrivals are visible. And the late ones, too. Our days are more than sixteen hours long right now! :-)

  9. Neat to see the sails! I imagine it would be fun sailing! Ever since I was a little girl, my mom has had a painting of two girls by a lake with a sailboat in the background; it looks very peaceful.
