Sunny Sunny Monday Morning

6:20

Bill and Joyce Leonard, our next door neighbors, are back for the summer

Woke at 4:00 as I played the game of guessing  what time it was; I was off by two minutes.  Fortunately, I went back to sleep getting up about 6:15, to a brilliant sun shining through the leaves of our maples.  It's a warm 58 degrees at 6:30, about as warm a morning as we have had this spring.  No wonder as yesterday was a record setting 89 degrees here at the lake.  Ugh!  I shudder to think what it might be like in mid summer and the lake is already showing moss and weeds.

Yesterday, like many of the past few days, was a perfect day at the lake, clear, sunny, almost too warm to be out on the dock, but the lake was refreshing, as Evie swam numerous times.  It was a busy morning, leisurely afternoon.  We rearranged our living room, then washed windows, me outside, Evie in, as there was a residue left from having our house sprayed for spiders on Friday. Later in the morning, I went for a bike ride at the CI, circling it two times, about forty five minutes of riding.  Things are waking up there, lots of people up for the weekend and what looked like a conference of some sort.  Later in the day, I went off to help Ron launch his boat from the Mayville Marina.  We had little problem, just getting the ropes right so the boat doesn't hit the dock.

Around 3:00, the Leonard's arrived so we helped them move their clothes and things into the house, as Bill has had sciatica for a month.  Things went smoothly, the water, electricity and septic all seemed to work, and within 20 minutes they were moved in, able to relax.  We then enjoyed the rest of the afternoon on the dock, reading, taking an occasional dip.

We had Bill and Joyce over for dinner at 6:00, for pulled pork sandwiches with cole slaw, potato salad, and broccoli salad, just the right meal for a Sunday evening.  It was good catching up with Bill and Joyce and their family, and they stayed till about 8:30.  We were both really tired and went to bed early for us, about 10:00.  A good day again.
