Wednesday, June 07, 2006 Yesterday evening, driving back from Montpelier, evening shadows stretching across the road, everything so lush and green it almost seemed unreal. As I passed North Montpelier pond, I saw two kayaks out on the water, two more still on land, the people on the shore preparing to join the paddlers already out on the pond. Each kayak was a different color -- one white, one yellow, one red, one green. Bright, eye-catching shades, all of them, contrasting with the intense blue of the sky reflected in the calm water. And I noticed the two individuals getting ready to push their kayaks into the water were short and hefty. Portly, one might say, extremely so. As were the two already out on the pond, looking like they might have had to bend the laws of physics some in order to fit into their kayaks. Not an image you see every day. And then I was by, heading home, the evening moving slowly toward twilight. The end of a beautiful early June day, with blue skies and sunshine from start to finish -- feeling especially excellent coming after a cool, rainy weekend. This morning started out with clear skies, clouds eased stealthily in. The wet blankets in the local weather biz claim those clouds will bring rain later today, that the rain will likely continue well into the weekend, maybe beyond. Time will tell. On with the day. España, te echo de menos. rws 12:41 PM [+]
