Grand

On the one hand it seems like moments ago -- on the other it seems like a lifetime ago -- that we pulled the canoe out from under the back deck and took it for the first paddle of the year. Mr. DH was making noises last weekend about pulling the canoe back up to its winter home, but I convinced him to leave it out a bit longer.

After a cold start this morning (33F/0.5 C), this afternoon was glorious, and my daughter needed no convincing whatsoever to paddle around the pond on what may have been our last paddle of the season.
