Amber & Two If By River

We get whole fleets and armadas of canoes and rafters and fishers passing by the River House. They have no idea how loud they are talking, or that we can hear every dumb comment they make. "Look! There are people up there!" Yes, and you're lucky we don't have a cannon.

But yesterday, we had a welcome water invasion when Diana and Kevin came to visit via inner tube. It took them about an hour to float down from their River House which is about three miles up river. But, I spotted their pink fleshy forms paddling long before they came ashore.

It was exciting to watch out for them as they got closer...

...and closer. Until finally I was able to greet them on the muddy shore. I brought a noodle just in case there were any accidents.

And noodles can also be used to push back the aggressive weeds along the path.


It was a fun visit that ended hours and hours and several Pimm's Cups later in grilled chicken and vegetables and beets.

Thanks for floating over to see us, Kevin and Diana!
