Some kayaking and fishing....

It was a very cloudy start to the morning and it was still pretty foggy when we got to the lake around 10:45. The boys put the boat in that a former co-worker of Greg's has lent us so they could try it out and get a little fishing in. Nothing was biting but they did have a fun couple of hours. 

Emily and I took our Kayaks for a paddle while they were fishing. It was the first time we have used our kayaks down here and we have lived here for 10 years now! We explored the Carney Island Recreation and Conservation area with their very nice boat ramp. It was about 30 minutes away from us in Ocklawaha.

The lake was really big and we didn't paddle too far from the boat ramp - maybe 40 minutes or so and back. We did a bit of drifting and just enjoying the peace and quiet, watching the ducks dive and pop up in different spots and just breath in some nature. The sun never came out until the ride home so it was a beautiful 70ish degrees rather than the mid 80's they had predicted. Perfect weather for a paddle.

I did a bit of power washing outside when I got home. The back steps are cleared of mold and chicken poop. The front sidewalks on each side of the house are done. That leaves the driveway for the next few days to tackle. I was probably out there for a couple of hours so far.

I have fresh strawberries and Emily wanted breakfast for dinner - so the extra biscuits from the sausage and gravy will be used for strawberry shortcake for desert! She came out mentioning she might be getting hungry in the next hour or so ... which means it is time to pull out the sausage and slice it for cooking.

I see some hexagon stitching in my future with a movie.
