The first winds of winter may have started blowing this week, but the afternoons are still gloriously warm.

Hisashi bought a small boat the other day, fulfilling a year-long dream, and took Kaede out for a little row. By the time I joined them on the beach, they were back to shore, and Kaede was splashing away in the water.

Hopefully, we’ll get a few more water-play days in before the weather really starts to change.
