I loved this! And I love that you stayed in Eden — I was spying that one for booking next time haha. (I love gardening and have a pretty big one at home.)
I loved your description of floating with the loon. I grew up in MN and my family had a cabin on a small, quiet lake. As a kid I would canoe out to the middle and lay on my back, listening to the birds and the subtle lapping of the water against the canoe. And yes, I would also sidle up next to a loon to enjoy its company. Thanks for bringing me back to that feeling.
Cassie I’ve always loved birds so my vote is for birds. One thing I notice is how intelligent they are. When they’re chirping, the language is almost like the rhythmic drip of a fountain: consistent, unpretentious, and yet resonant.
