Up the creek

Sometimes you just have to scratch that itch even when you know scratching might not be the best thing.

I had to have me some outdoors time.

But it's One Hot Summer.

JP and Fly indulged me anyway for a short while yesterday.



That's the bow of my kayak.



That's me, trying to balance a baby on my lap while not flipping us into the creek.



The creek has some nice things going for it, like scenery...



...and wildlife (that's an osprey)...



...and more scenery.

But did I mention how hot it is?

So what did Fly think of his first paddle?



(Orange is really not his color.)

I think I'll wait to go out and paddle again when it's cooler -- much cooler!
