Hello Friends,
Thank you for joining me today for an, On the Road Friday. My sister and husband won a trip for two through the Lower Chippewa River State Natural Area. They are in a middle of a house build and would not be able to use the prize. My sister gave it to us and we enjoyed a lovely 14 mile canoe down the Red Cedar River during the morning of June 5th.
We enjoyed a shore lunch.
Beautiful scenery, bird song and Wisconsin green.
We saw a doe with triplets, this was the first time in my life that I saw a doe with triplets. Mama deer was a good mom to those three little ones. As we canoed passed she had them hide.
We saw eagles, herons, swallows, kingfisher and orioles.
The Mole never heard a word he was saying. Absorbed in the new life he
was entering upon, intoxicated with the sparkle, the ripple, the scents
and the sounds and the sunlight, he trailed a paw in the water and
dreamed long waking dreams. Mole said " You must think me very rude; but
all this is so new to me. So -this - is - a River!" "The River, "
corrected the Rat. "And you really live by the river? What a jolly
life!" "By it and with it and on it and in it," said the Rat.
