7:30 |
Yesterday was much like Sunday, hot and humid, the heavy humidity a result of the rain Monday morning. I loved it, the rain and the lake after the storm. So I went out for a kayak paddle around 7:15, a good way to start the day. We then got some things done in the house and Evie made up a list for me since I was going shopping. Sam's Club had lots of sales which Evie did not want us to miss so off I went, stopping for a coffee at Ryders and I picked up a dozen organic eggs. I then stopped at Office Max, washed my car at a self car wash and ended up at Sam's, filling my cart with mostly paper products, paper plates, napkins, things like that which makes the summer easier for all of us, fewer dishes to wash.
When I go home, we quickly put things away and since it was 12:30, I quickly put on my bathing suit and did some lake weeding before lunch. It, the cutting of weeds, is becoming an obsession, as if I want to get rid of every weed in the lake, a Sisyphean task. They are a real problem in some areas as some cannot even get their boats off of their lifts because of the weeds. Lunch was one of my favorites, ever since our days in Istanbul, schnitzel sandwiches, with mayo and tomatoes. It's worth making schnitzel just so I could have those sandwiches the next day for lunch. I watched some soccer, Italy vs Spain, bits and pieces of other matches before taking a nap.
Evie, after keeping busy most of the morning, took the afternoon off and spent most of it out on the dock, enjoying the sun, the beauty of the afternoon blues, the lake and sky. I joined her around 3:00 and could not pass up jumping into the lake and cutting more weeds. There's a definite pleasure in seeing my basket fill up with these darn weeds, the longer the are, the more satisfying. Crazy, right.
Porch Sitting At 8:15 |
We had our pizza and salad around 8:15 and watched some more of Dicte, the Danish series which we have been enjoying. We stuck with a couple of episodes but got tired of it and turned on some Stephen Colbert before going up to bed.
