Apsley in the 70's

Feeling the cool, refreshing water caress my skin and my long sun-kissed hair tickle the small of my back, I came up out of the water. I had to carefully steady myself on the boulder in the water because it was still slippery from the algae my mom had asked me to sweep away with the broom. It was a hot, humid, summer day in cottage country just outside of the hamlet of Apsley, near Peterborough, Ontario.
