Paddling

A few weeks ago, Mr. Cobblestone and I took a break from all the redecorating going on at our house to spend a few hours padding the canoe on nearby lakes.  It was a lovely bright, clear day and although the Autumn colors had just started to appear here in Maine, we were treated to some gorgeous views.

This is the tiny bridge that spanned 

the area where the two lakes joined.

 Tiny peeks of color stood out against the mostly still green trees.

There was a small park with this darling bandstand where we put in that day.  While there, we met some tourists who were visiting the area from England.  They were delightful ~ letting us know that a person can indeed survive at least two weeks on nothing but lobster and chowder.  I'm sending a big thank-you to that gentleman who was kind enough to push our canoe into the water so I didn't have to get my feet wet!

Hey ~ no one ever accused me of being an outdoorsy kind of gal.
