I indeed am getting comfort from my nearby lake setting this summer of 2021.

My safe walk done, I turn back toward the rest of the day. I parked my car in the library’s underground garage, where a solid day of satisfying work awaits. First will come a stroll through two blocks of the Village of Liverpool. I’ll breathe all of it in.

Just when I thought I was the only one at Onondaga Lake Park before my work shift at the library, I noticed an early morning walker with their dog way down yonder. Good morning, indeed.

Nobody sits around at Onondaga Lake Park on a nice early April day before 8 a.m. On this particular day, anyway.

I left for my shift at the library early last week so I could take a walk down by the lake. That allowed me to find the sun still playing its hello-Spring-day games with the trees. Good way to get ready for work, I thought.

    It’s getting nice enough that somebody will want to get fishing just outside the appointed restrictions, soon enough.

The mounds grew high looking back and up at the Village of Liverpool.
