I will say it does look to be better at high tide. Glad you were able to get over a few of those dams. Busy beavers!! So glad you got to enjoy the book sale. Bakeries are always fun. But, I agree $6.50 is a lot for one.Carrie C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07904027116034931818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-6115404533750695732017-10-12T12:14:41.415-04:002017-10-12T12:14:41.415-04:00Small town VT also has lots of libraries, I sure d...Small town VT also has lots of libraries, I sure do miss mine.

That was such a beautiful, peaceful paddle -- one of the best forms of meditation, I think. Your photos of the morning are lovely. <br />We just paid $4 for two organic savory rosemary scones on Salt Spring Island (in British Columbia). I thought that was high! But they sure were delicious for breakfast.

I've seen their work grow and grow but never seen them at work. I wonder how they do it, must not be unionized?<br /><br />I'm with you, Canada Geese are way down (bottom) of my bird like list. They should be renamed Canada Litter Bug Geese! ;c)Paul and Marti Dahlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17332654035718777839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-44014708087248371592017-10-08T09:53:39.599-04:002017-10-08T09:53:39.599-04:00So much on which to comment!

The geese feathers may have been annoying, but they really looked pretty in the pictures, and i can't believe the variety of birds you saw on that one creek. My favorite picture is of the mother with her babies. I don't think I've even seen a picture of a mother duck with seven (?) little ones. Lucky mama. I love the blog, Sherry. Thanks for sharing.

I am impressed you recognized the female wood duck - too bad he wasn't around, although she is quite distinctive too with that white ring around her eye. I wouldn't be so hard on the Canada Geese. I know they are numerous & messy, but we don't want to take them for granted. Remember what happened to the Passenger Pigeons. BTW, I asked for the price of a chocolate croissant at that bakery & it was $3.75, so then I asked about the raspberry scone & she said $6.50. Neither girl knew why, but it does annoy me to be in a place that does not mark their prices on things so you have to ask or pretend you don't care.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10739352885582343624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-52842022305046342502017-10-07T20:14:29.272-04:002017-10-07T20:14:29.272-04:00Such a lovely and serene paddle.
