Beloved,
At this time of the year, there is much to put away, to put in
hibernation for its rebirth in the Spring. I have still not put
my kayak away and it is at this season that I deeply appreciate
the opportunity to see my surroundings in a different way. Most
of the boats are now removed or dry docked and most of the docks
have been pulled up onto dry land. There are still a few stragglers
like me who won’t give up until the lake starts to freeze.
I have not seen a boat out in the past two weeks and I myself have
not gone out in the water much as this season is also windy and I
do not want to battle the wind with the water being so cold. I went
out in the kayak last week but half way around the lake, the wind
was making the water rough ahead of me so I turned around and came
back while I still had some peaceful water. I went out this morning
even though it was not sunny but the water was like glass. I put on a
thin waterproof pants and jacket but as I sat down in the kayak, I
jumped up as the seat was so CCCCold. I came back in the house and
put on some sweats under the waterproof coverings and then went
back in the kayak.
We have a dam at one end of the lake and I have lived here for 16
years but have never seen how they raise and lower the “boards” so
that they lower the water level in the fall and raise it in the
spring. It was quite interesting and I discovered they can only do
it one board a day or week. You should have seen the rush of water
over the dam when they removed only one board. If they did two at a
time, the rush of the water would be too great and people would
get flooded out.
My older son bought a bass fishing boat and tomorrow he is bringing
it here so I can have a ride in it. I am really looking forward
to seeing my lake from above as in the kayak, I sit down into it so
it is a different feel and perspective.
From the kayak, I see many houses now peeking out at me as the trees
have let go of their leaves. The seasons not only change how the
water itself behaves but also what the habitation around the lake
looks like.
Happy Halloween!!!
It is fascinating to see how people change their appearance. It
is the only time you get to look funny or different and it is
accepted by society. Who would you like to be for a day or night?
I don’t know if it is my age or not, but I am quite happy to be me.
It is so difficult to pretend to be other than who I am yet when I
was younger it was fun to try to fool others. Maybe I just did not
know who I was then but now I do.
Once in a great while something as beautiful as this
comes along and must be sent.
Enjoy!!
