Rainy Day

 

So far this summer it has not rained much.  Since my Kiliuda Bay survey in early June - and I know for a fact that it rained a lot that week - it has barely rained at all.  My lawn has even started to turn brown.  So yesterday I welcomed the rain.  It has been a while.

In the morning Nora and I took Bode for a walk in the rain at Abercrombie.  Bode has been a little lonely of late without Brewster for company, and at the park he loves to play with other dogs.

Then in the afternoon, Nora and I floated the Buskin river with Uncle Dicky and cousin Leo.  Leo, Nora and I were in a big inflatable raft while uncle Dicky was on a stand up paddle board.  It had rained an inch and the river was quite high.  In places it was a bit scary and I did not dare to pause and take pictures.  I had to be alert to keeping the raft pointed straight!

At the Buskin River mouth we paddled out into the surf and tried to catch a few waves in the raft.  The waves tried to flip us over and we caught a few short rides.  

A good way to spend a soaking wet day - soaking wet and loving it!
