It is absolutely amazing to have a weekend with moderate temperatures and low humidity. That is not the norm where we live. So we took full advantage of it for extra outdoor time over the long Labor Day weekend.
It was just the two of us. This one of us (that would be me) is getting tired to not seeing family. But that is our current state. We are beyond thankful for this spot that is not far from the farm so that we get a change of scenery.
If you know me in real life, you know that I am not usually a seeker of outdoor activity. I love knitting and reading and playing piano. I can sit still like a champion. But years ago we invested in kayaks for our lake house. At that point we didn't know anyone else on our lake with kayaks. When friends from out of state came to visit, they brought a pair and we discovered how much fun they were.
When paddling kayaks we can get into spots that are not accessible any other way. We see things that we would miss otherwise. The water in this habitat is way too shallow for a boat. It only takes inches for the kayak to glide over the water.
Times change and now there are so many people who have embraced flat water recreation. So we can watch kayaks, the occasional canoe, and paddle boards moving up and down our cove. Yes, there are still plenty of boats and pontoons, but the vessels with paddles are gaining on them. For once, we were ahead of a trend.
Goodness, I looked at your blog and your paddling post on a day when it was too chilly in Minnesota to think about getting on the water! But...still looked like you had a great time.
ReplyDeleteWe still have a good bit of warm weather to enjoy yet. Hopefully not as hot as summer, but that sweet spot that comes between miserably hot and winter cold. We did have fun.
DeleteLOL Learned to kayak - sorta - a few years ago. Very good at going around in circles. You look like you are having fun! Chloe
