I am able to say I had a canoodle in July!

I was afraid I was going to miss the whole month. I was out in the canoe in June, then things got hectic. This retirement stuff isn't for chumps, plus we've had clouds, winds and one needs a calm day.
The best time of day is from 6 - 9 a.m., and I like to ease myself into the day!

My neighbours allow me to leave my canoe in their isolated little bay. It is so kind of them.

It wasn't a long canoe ride, but there was quite a wind. You can see where I went over the land. Actually, the GPS pooched out on me. I went across to the west shore, then crossed with the wind. My arms were sore a couple of days later. At my age, I really have to do these things on a regular basis.

Amazing trip!

Not bad for an old fart!

Helpful critters eating bugs!

There are so many bugs and they have many predators. Thankfully! 

This fuzzy wuzzy I have to identify

where they were looking for evidence
in the Winchester murder.

Daisy and I were doing yard work. Daisy hid under the branches I'd trimmed. Overhead we spotted a warbler. Great little bug catcher! It was watching us, showing off the bug in its beak. I love the twitchy tail!
