: It was more like a cool summer day today so we got out for an
: afternoon paddle. If things do not change soon it is going to be
: a dry summer next year but it was sure a nice day today.

Love that picture! 79 deg F today and we are bundled up in blankets and drinking hot tea. Funny how we acclimate to our surroundings. I just returned from a visit to the states. What kills me is not the cold but the dry air. It feels like fire on my sinuses. I brought back a nice little head cold as a souvenir. One day I do want to come up and play in the snow, but only for a short time!!!
