Saturday morning and early afternoon was spent finishing up our kitchen cabinets....yeah. :)
Late afternoon we did some running around to get prepared for a few friends to visit, Dick and Joanne.
Brian and I paddled the marsh at Ausable Point the other night after work and I couldn't help but think of Joanne while paddling it. How much she would enjoy the beauty of the marsh, the wildlife and flowers and would just be going crazy taking pictures.
Ausable Point is located on Lake Champlain on Route 9 in Peru, just south of Plattsburgh. On one side of the road going in is Lake Champlain with the great views of Mansfield and Camel's Hump, on the other side is a wonderful wildlife marsh.
After a nice bbq we loaded up our boats and headed to the point for a nice evening paddle. We saw much wild life, geese, goslings, king fishers, red winged black birds, blue heron and the beautiful water lillies. Joanne took many pictures, so maybe she will post some. We were treated with a beautiful sunset at the end of the day.
There are Osprey that nest at the point, but we did not see them this evening.
If you live in the area or are visiting up that way, it is a great place to explore. It is a place you can keep coming back to and discover something new everytime. A place Brian and I will be visiting many more times. :)
