Canoeing!

On Friday we went canoeing on the Middle Fork, in Kickapoo State Park. Water level was low, but the meandering river was still full of dead tree obstacles, patches of swiftly moving current, and many bottom-scraping rocks. Not to mention the blue herons that led us downstream, who, in the quiet of the woods, seemed more like apparitions from beyond the grave, guiding us a little further along the river of time.

Tonight - piggy dinner at a local goatcheese farm, and I will post pictures of Kima's latest best trick - nabbing squirrels in the backyard. Yes, dear readers, my dog is a patient and focused killer.
