first paddle on the Ottawa River

Gardened this morning. Sowed swiss chard, small green onions, sunflowers, and curly lettuce. There is still a chance of frost but I'm risking it.

Filmed a basketball game between my grade six students and their parents and older siblings. I think this might become a new tradition.

Went paddling with buddies, Jacqueline and Lyne, in the late afternoon. The wind, although still creating tiny ripples on the bay, was dying down. We crossed a muskrat and an unidentified sea bird. I can't find it anywhere in my bird books and I'm a little tired today.
