We went for a drive yesterday. It was nice to visit the river. Surprised to see an open channel!
On the way home we popped into the grocery store and picked up a couple of things, seeing as we drive right by it, y'know.
Today a pet store in a town near us was doing a fund raiser. They were offering nail clipping with funds going to the SPCA. We were surprised to see sweet little Heidi doing the clipping. She is the gal in Deep River who does our dogs teeth. We also booked another teeth cleaning for this coming Thursday.
We took a drive by a place called The Point Beach to go for a nice walk along our beloved river again. WOW, there was a LOT of open water there. As we got close to the beach proper we were in for a big surprise. People were SWIMMING! The adults were swimming while the children played in the snow.
toweling off after their invigorating dipOur weather is looking to be unseasonably warm for another week to ten days. We are going to lose a lot of snow. Our road is an awful muddy rutted mess after all those snowmobiles and trucks and trailers ripped it up this weekend.
The Creek is running!
Open water!

Swimming...brrrr!
ReplyDeleteFor the visuals, I would just as soon have it more wintry for awhile longer. Slush is not pretty.
ReplyDeleteSwimming? No, that does not compute! They are far bolder than I. We're in another warm streak, too. Most of the snow is gone.
ReplyDeleteI was talking to someone today and she was saying that there is no ice fishing huts out on the lake as it's so unsafe with all the open water.
ReplyDeleteYes, indeed. The road up here is also a muddy masterpiece. I am laughing at your beach photo. We camped there fifty-six years ago this September. And I know that because I was pregnant with our older daughter. I did not, I assure you, swim.
