  • Diamonds on the water.
  • The wind did a job on my hair.

It has been so windy this past week there was no way anyone was venturing out on the water. But I was doing yard work in the afternoon and it seemed so warm in the sun, with mild breezes. So I grabbed my kayak and got out on the water. Turned out to be a lot windier than I thought, bur there I was. Went around the point where it was a little calmer and paddled about. I watched a bald eagle fly about who suddenly dove toward the water to presumably to eat h a fish, but he came up empty. They are too fast to get a decent pic so I didn't even try. I started to get cold as the temp dropped and the wind picked up so headed back. My teeth were chattering by the time I secured my kayak. Got in the house and it was 64 degrees. Too cold for me plus I was wet..
