Down by the river

Took the afternoon off to hang out at the little marina down the road and bask in the sun . I was supposed to get there at noon for a boat ride with Chet but it was much too cold then. It was lovely however to sit at the dock and watch the birds fly by when it warmed up a couple of hours later. The eagle didn't show up but I saw a white egret, a black one and a sweet little family of ducks. I also left with a standing invitation to return.

I found myself thinking how lucky it is to live in a lovely downtown Northampton, with all the necessitites of life within walking distance and to also be a three minute drive from a place that looks sort of like this.
