Ethan finished his work this week and had Friday free so we headed over to the Red River.  We've discovered during the pandemic that the rivers are much busier on the weekends.  We're lucky that we're able to kayak during the week.  We put in at Porter's Chapel Road and kayaked down to Red River Canoe Rental.  We didn't see the cows today.  We did seem to follow one heron down the river for quite awhile.  And at one point, we saw a large bird flying overhead with a white head.  I'd like to think it was an eagle, Scotty thought it may have been an owl.  But, this time, it was not one of the nasty buzzards that we so often see.  We ate lunch in our 'secret creek'.  The river was low so we weren't able to kayak very far up into the creek.  Beautiful blue skies, fairly calm river, relaxed and happy kayakers - all while the world is going to heck!!!!
