Lake of the Woods

It was much warmer on Lake of the Woods yesterday than anticipated. We saw 2 bald eagles up in the trees.  It might be our last paddle of the season.
 

Dismantled

While we were out paddling yesterday, the resort dismantled the docks in the marina.  Spaces for 50 boats were gone when we returned.  Winterizing the area in full swing.
 

This Explains So Much

 No empathy from the religious right 

Lots of Ducks

Yesterday at Lake of the Woods we were the only people on the lake.  We were prime snacking targets for the ducks.  Everything from fritters to apples were welcomed
 

Howard Prairie Bluster

Gorgeous but blustery day out on Howard Prairie lake last week. Biggish waves. 
 

Pool Party

To celebrate the end of the kayak season, Susan gave a pool party. Lovely afternoon.
 

Before and After

We returned to Klamath Lake and paddled south around Pelican Bay.  Mark and Bruce ended up in the water.  Mark tried getting out of his kayak and fell in. Bruce went to his aid and also got dunked. Luckily it was shallow and a warmish day,

The Canoe Trail at Rocky Point

We went to Rocky Point this week to kayak the national canoe trail.  We started well but the water got too shallow.  Those boats with skegs got hung up in the mud.  We were forced to go back and paddle around the aptly named Pelican Bay. A cloudy but glorious day.

Lake of the Woods

The rains ended and the clouds parted for a lovely morning on Lake of the Woods. Only 4 souls this week braved the morning chill.  Once the sun came out, layers were shed quickly.
 

That Ol' Devil Diesel

I put some diesel in the Mercedes yesterday.  Today I heard that diesel gets really expensive next week.  I went to top it off, and in one day the price went up 23 cents. Probably my last below $7 diesel for awhile.
 

First Sensor

I got and wore my first continuous glucose sensor two weeks ago. It came off after 13 days....was supposedly good for 14.  The last few days the readings got more erratic.  The communication with the phone app got glitchey. Before the problems though, it was nice to see real time readings.  
Worked well in the water.

More Planting

Replaced a dead New Zealand Flax with some more small Shasta Daisies.  The deer never let a crepe myrtle grow so I replaced it with an Autumn Cranberry sage. That finishes the front.
