One of my favorite warm weather activities is kayaking. It provides such an incredible sense of relaxation. I love the days when the lake is like glass and the water is very flat, the sun shimmering over the top of the water as it sets. I enjoy the little natural surprises you happen upon. The turtles sunning themselves on logs, herons along the water’s edge, the occasional fish jumping. One of my favorite experiences was paddling along a rock slide and seeing two small animals I initially thought were abandoned kittens. My cousin and I went closer to shore and discovered they were in fact minks. They were so cute and as curious about us as we were about them. They came down to the shore line and were following us along the rocks as we moved by. I had never seen them before and unfortunately, I have never seen them again, although I look for them every time I go by that particular area. There is so much serenity on the water, to just sit and feel the rocking motion of the kayak, like a baby in a cradle, trailing your fingers in the cool water as the sun warms your face. It brings such a sense of peace and calm.
