Evie's Garden, late summer |
Up strangely to the roar of bass boats though it's a Monday morning and tournaments are usually on weekends. Maybe I dreamed it. It's 63 degrees, breezy, and nice and cool in our living room. Later in the day, it's supposed to cloud up and a good chance that it will rain. We need it.
Yesterday was an open Sunday, nothing we needed to do. I started the day with a paddle down to Whitney Bay, surprised by how clear the water was down at that end. A few people were up and lots of boats were out on a great morning, especially fishermen as there was a tournament. Our major focus was the boat. Evie worked on sewing together the split seams on the seats. I then brought out the vacuum cleaner and Evie vacuumed and washed down the inside, and I washed the outside, including the bottom. The water felt good, clearer than previous days, so hopefully the algae bloom is dissipating. Late afternoon, Evie cut the lawn, and I went to the CI for a bike ride. The gates are now open and though there was a closing ceremony last night, it already felt empty, with few people walking the streets other than what seemed to be tourists. People obviously clear out quickly when the season ends. I have to say I am happy to be able to take advantage of the CI without having to pay a gate fee, or go through a manned (womened) gate.
We had an easy dinner, tomato and cheese omelette's with bagels and watched more episodes of Breaking Bad. Last night's was a silly episode (no doubt symbolic!) where Walt and Jessie spend most of the episode trying to kill a fly, Walt arguing it would taint the meth. The big change is in Skylar, Walt's wife, as she is slowly getting sucked into the evil as well, accepting a role as money launderer, rationalizing it, like Walt, as necessary to pay for her brother in law's medical expenses. Sounds familiar.
