| Gray Morning But Docks In |
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, Istanbul, Turkey, and Ohio. We have three children and seven grandchildren, as you will notice if you follow my blog since we often travel to visit them. Trumpeter Swans on 3/23/24 at 5:00

Docks In but Rain, Rain. Rain
The guys finally put our dock in yesterday, in pouring rain at times, 40 degree weather and, when putting in the end pieces, they were completely underwater as the lake is so high. They had all week to put it in, when it was warm and sunny but waited till yesterday, when it was cool and wet. I know that for me, psychologically, it was easy to put in when it was sunny and warm, and awful if it was gray and wet. It cost me 300 bucks, a nice two hour job for them.
We had an inch and a half of rain yesterday, so the yards awash in water, soaked to the max I think, and rain is expected everyday this week though I don't think it will be as torrential as yesterday. High's will be in the 50's and it will clear up towards the end of the week, when we head to Jill's, of course.
