Thanksgiving 2002
After what seems like forever I finally made it back home to PA for a visit at Thanksgiving. Dad & I got some raking done and took a canoe out and saw a wild swan, tons of huge herons and lots of other waterfowl.

Dad loads up the canoe to take down to the lake

It was nearly dusk when we left and got dark quickly. A short paddle but what a blast!

A graveyard for giant lily pads. These things are taking over the reservoir and are massive in the summer but brown and smelly in the winter when they die. Yuck.

I remember this maple tree in the backyard being the tiniest sapling when I was a kid - WOW!
