Home at noon yesterday and not going back to work until Monday so today, Friday, is my first full day home and I feel like I'm at loose ends. I should unpack, go grocery shopping, and start my life back up again. But I have no desire to do so. I finally unloaded the canoe from my car late this morning and decided I felt like going for a paddle so I clamped the carry thwart on, threw lunch fixins in a small pack, and portaged out of my yard about 3/4 mile to the river behind my house for a 4 mile upstream paddle and then back, stopping for lunch along the way.
It was great. It started off cool, cloudy, and windy. The sun teased me and almost came out, then it got cloudy, again, then it started sprinkling, then it started raining, and Sadie and I both wound up standing on shore shivering in the rain with a small fire going trying to cook lunch. It was just like I never left Canada! All that was missing was the mosquitoes but the day is still young.
