9-2-15 VERMONT: It’s hot again, in the eighties, but only in the fifties at night. We canoed on the Connecticut yesterday, putting in at North Thetford and paddling upriver into a little southerly breeze and a little current. Neither seemed like much of an impediment, but we got back in half the time. We saw a pair of kingfishers who stayed well away from us, and a blue heron who was equally as cautious. On the way back, we saw three buzzards circling near the launch site.
As we left the launch area a nearby church struck eleven, but we couldn’t see it until the trip back.
I’ve been watering the new plantings because there’s been no rain for several days, but tomorrow is supposed to be wet.
New blooms: autumn sedum, turtlehead.
Turtlehead - looks like a turtle head.
Autumn Sedum.
There's a kingfisher in the center perched on the dead tree.

North Thetford church told us it was 11AM when we started paddling.
