We decided to stay in the area this weekend, giving us a chance to plant our garden. We plant in buckets....easy care for "us on the go."........ There, all the sets are in, tomatoes doing great, and look my giant red amaryllis has begun to open too. Time for an afternoon paddle and a hop through the marsh.....I do mean hop(see video) That marsh grass is tall! I decided to hitch a ride on Dad's shoulder until we got back in the canoe. On our paddle up the tidal river we spotted a Great Blue Heron as it flew up into the marsh. Mom got some pictures of it in flight. Me and Dad were watching the heron when SWOSH! a huge...I mean HUGE,owl fly over us and into a tree, then another one,it's mate perhaps. Dad ever so slowly scouted the area silently in the canoe until Mom got the perfect picture of the ever elusive Great Horned Owl. It was way up in the tree, but I tucked into the canoe...never know if a little yorkie like me might look like a snack to a pair of birds that large! Home for the night, another check on that amaryllis. Sunday morning we took the canoe to Little Ossipee Lake and paddled the length of it down to the island. I brought my "canoe tent" but the weather was perfect so I didn't need to use it. Big wind paddling back, but I think the folks are getting use to that! Home again to find my amaryllis fully open...BEAUTIFUL!
