It was pitch black when I got up, around 5:30, and I could hear the rain hitting the windows and roof, not an attractive first morning at the lake. I turned on NPR, read my emails, got the paper, and browsed the web until the sky began to lighten, about 7:00, though sunrise is not till 7:25. It's now 8:00, Evie's up taking a shower, and it looks miserable out, lake rough, skies gray, wind howling, rain pelting the front windows. I had hopes of kayaking but will probably have to put those on hold for a few days, as this weather is only supposed to get worst, colder, with snow coming over the next three or four days. Welcome back to Chautauqua Lake.
We are heading off to Wegman's this morning, stopping at the library, and picking up our held mail at the post office in Ashville. It looks like a good day to sit around and drink tea, read, or watch a good movie on TV.
A daily journal of our lives (begun in October 2010), in photos (many taken by my wife, Evie) and words, mostly from our home on Chautauqua Lake, in Western New York, where my wife Evie and I live, after my having retired from teaching English for forty-five years in Hawaii, Turkey, and Ohio. We have three children, seven grandchildren, and one great-grandson, as you will notice if you follow my blog since we often travel to visit them.
