Yesterday was wet, windy, a miserable day, a good day for hunkering down on a couch, to read, or to watch TV which both of us did to a large degree. We actually, at least as far as I kind of remember, did little inside, never went outside except to take the trash to the Transfer Station, it was that miserable out. Mid morning we felt guilty and did something we have meant to do for the past few days, take the air conditioners out of the windows. It's not difficult, takes a few minutes but for some reason we talked about doing it but never did. Well, yesterday, with the wind howling, rain pelting the roof, we did it. They are now in the attic, stacked, waiting for next summer. Mission accomplished. And while we were in the attic, we got out the suitcase with all our winter hats and gloves, an ominous sign that we are thinking cold weather is on the way. On our walk on Friday, Evie had both a hat and gloves and I wished I had brought my gloves as well. Well, now we are prepared even though the forecast for the week is promising.
For lunch, I had black bean soup, frozen a couple of weeks ago toasted cheese sandwiches on the freshly baked bread, unfortunately, mediocre. I will not make that recipe again. Then, I settled down on the couch, watched some football, then did some reading, and Evie sat herself down in front of the fire place and read a good part of the afternoon. I am loving my book, A COLDER WAR by Charles Cummins, set in Turkey and Great Britain.
Around 4:30, Evie must have been hungry because she put her book aside, and made a recipe she had found earlier in the day for a custard like cake. I assisted, getting out the necessary utensils and ingredients and within an hour we had a cake, warm and moist, not ready for eating till later in the evening.

We got home around 9:30, and watched some TV for only an hour before both went up to bed to read, tired from our busy day of leisure.
It's now 8:41, Evie's been up for a half hour, enjoying the fire in our fireplace, the changing morning sky and NPR, wondering what the day will bring.
