We finally got out on our kayaks today for the first time this year. Ah, a long weekend...wish I had more of them. You can be productive and do chores and errands but can still find time to have fun. And this was fun! There were very few others out paddling today, so it was mostly just us and the birds. We saw great blue herons, various songbirds, a protonotary warbler, and heard a kingfisher. The fish were jumping, and with temperatures in the upper 80s by the time we were done, it really felt like summer. We sure could use some rain, though, to keep the Eno River navigable -- and water my flowers.
