The lake was quite still yesterday, and the sun warm, so after school we gathered up the Sprouts and went for a family canoe ride. For the Sprouts, it was a time to hang out with Mama and Papa. For the adults, it was a time to get some fresh air, distance ourselves from the trials and tribulations of the school week, and put things into perspective. For all of us, it was a time to enjoy the Creator's handiwork. We paddled around the edge of the lake, exploring beaver, fish and duck habitats. We glided through brown reeds and canoed past trees holding on to their last few leaves, noting that the season of autumn has been longer than usual (last year there was snow on the ground), but feeling the chill in the air of Old Man Winter approaching. Soon we will not be canoeing on the lake, but skating and ice fishing instead.
