Finished painting and oiling the woodwork of my backwaters canoe so I took the pup for a paddle today. It was 70F in so. MN today and canoeing is allowed although you're supposed to stay close to home but no one defines what close means. So I drove a couple of miles and dropped in where the local creek empties in the Mississippi. Was surprised that the water level has dropped a couple of feet over the last week so the creek was back in it's banks and there was no paddling through the woods. Went out on the Mississippi for a bit but it was pretty windy and the current was really moving and the one bass boat out on a 1/4 mile wide river decided he had to buzz by about 15 yards away at high speeds so we turned around and headed up the creek to do some exploring.
The pup was 30 pounds last fall but now is 75 so it's a bit of an adjustment for us this year. I think she's close to done growing, she'll be a year old in a couple of weeks. She likes the water but doesn't necessarily like to swim so she only tries to get out when we're close to or touching shore. Everything is still pretty brown but a little green is showing.
Didn't see much wildlife, mainly birds but did see the largest tree I've ever seen a pillated woodpecker destroy, I think this one could build a dugout canoe.
I'm going to try and like a Google picture folder.
