| Fishing Yesterday As Storm Clouds Gather |
 |
| 7:30 |
Up at an unheard of time 7:20 and Evie's been sitting and reading quietly, no Only The Game, letting me sleep in. I woke to rain on the roof, a wonderful way to wake up, much like sunshine in the bedroom, came down to a few fishing boats on the lake despite the rain, gray water on gray sky, and 60ยบ.

| Vineyards Road Lead to Cherry Picking Trees |
Yesterday like today was wet though it cleared up enough in the late afternoon for us to be outside and stayed that way till dusk. I did go to yoga at 9:00, the usual suspects attended, no shopping or coffee afterwards as we were driving to a Nursery in Fredonia which had a buy two, get two plants free. We stopped in Westfield, at the library, to pick up a book I put on reseve, THE SON, by Phillip Meyer. We then took Route 20 though rain but stopped at a farm to pick cherries for about a half an hour. We were one of two or three people there because of the rain but ended up with almost five pounds of cherries, Evie's favorite fruit. We then went to the nursery, browsed for plants, bought more geraniums and herbs, what else, nothing new or exciting, just the tried and true. We stopped at the one of our favorite delis in Fredonia, the Tuscan, which has a great meat market, lots of interesting kitchen items, all with an Italian flavor. We also stopped at the Privaterra Gardena and Vegetable stand on Rt. 60, on the way out of Fredonia, which we have been to many times.

| Making Pizza With Evie |
 |
| With Jane and Jerry Grice |
By the time we got home, it was almost 3:00 and Evie spent the rest of the afternoon getting a pizza dinner ready for the Grice's, making the dough, cooking the mushrooms and Italian sausage, grating the cheese, making the salad, in other words, getting things ready so dinner was easy when they arrived. We had not seen Jane and Jerry in almost a year for some reason so it was good to see them again. Jane recently won an award as one of the highest earning real estate agents in the county, with her picture in the paper. Jerry also has been busy, having just finished up a home in the CI, with lots more work to do this summer. Things in real estate and construction are picking up in this area, We sat on the front porch, had Evie's version of chicken wings, home made blue cheese dressing, veggies, with no wings! Everybody loved the carrots and celery. Evie and Jane put together the pizzas, and Jerry and I took them outside and put them on the grill for about six minutes, three of them, and presto, in 20 minutes we had great pizzas to go with our salad. We sat around talking till about 10:00 when they headed home, as Jane still had some real estate business to do on her computer. A good day, fun evening.
