It is the middle of November and the dock at Moody Point has been pulled for the winter. So that is the end of Kayaking from here because the shoreline has environmentally sensitive plants and we are not allowed to launch from shore. I documented the ten fall Kayaking trips to Shackford Point. It was […]

We have gotten a start on the fall yard work. I thought we finally dealt with the leaves that were down. I was wrong as the oak tree took another dump on me. I think a strong North wind would move the leaves for me but we will get around to it later today and

Kayak Adventure VIII This is likely our last kayak adventure of the year. It was a calm morning just after high tide. It was remarkable how much things had changed since our last trip. The berries were stripped from the bushes and acorns were the food source of choice. We did not see a lot

Feast or famine, last month I did five blogs but this month it looks like I will barely squeeze out two. It wasn’t for lack of content as we have had a pretty good month and I have a good start on the next blog. I just didn’t get it done. Birds MISC…………. Kayak Adventure
