This is our third trip to Canal house in a delight, as always, despite the rainy cold weather,
“Friday was in the 70s and the 2.5-hours paddle on the river we had the whole river to ourselves, not a single other boat. Water clear as glass down to the bottom, wow! Swimming turtles, cormorants, herons on the bank. Met a few enthused cyclists at the ramp enjoying the day.
“Bike ride was great, with really nice towpath condition. Loved this part of the river, and views from Dam #4.
“Cozy, reading, nook in the kitchen and living room, visited Sunny Meadows nursery, Antietam, and Planck’s and Bonnie’s barbecue were all great.
“Garden is stupendous, just amazing with perennials, annuals, and native trees and bushes.
“Thank you, Vern.
P.S. Love, LOVED back entry lock.”
