Sharing my little spot on this earth

See that picture in the blog banner above? That's the river that runs behind my house. Well, right now, since it's full of melted snow and rain, it's a river. I've been told that later this year it will be more like a mud flat. Still, it thrills me to no end that at the back of my property is a body of water.

Emma and I waved at this woman as she went past us in her kayak, and I couldn't help thinking that I am very, very lucky. This is right in my back yard!

The weather is supposed to be sunny again this weekend. I wonder what we'll see next?
