October 1, hard to imagine summer is slipping away. After about 1 week of fairly gloomy cold windy weather, today was beautiful. 78 degrees, a little breezy. After watching the Commanders lose to the Eagles in OT, I decided to drown my sorrows with an afternoon kayak across the creek. I discovered a marsh that somehow I had never seen before.  Venturing in, I followed a water path quite a ways in until it narrowed to the point I could "feel" the spiders about to attack me. Turned around and actually had trouble retracing my steps. Should have left breadcrumbs.
