I know I’m getting to the end of my paddling season up here when the Paddle and Pizza Party for the Paddle Killingly Meetup Group rolls around.

This year’s was a repeat of 2020, eating outdoors because of Covid.  Only this year our clever organizers came up with a huge tarp to block the wind from blowing the pizza boxes off the table. 

Our last time indoors at Classic Pizza, just up the street from where we paddle, was in 2019, when granddaughter Margeaux came along with me.  

The fall colors are just now starting to show and I may go paddling a couple more times before heading south, but I am truly a wimp.  When it gets much below 70 and stays cloudy and windy I’d rather be inside looking out the window.
