A partly cloudy morning, already warm, with rain predicted tonight. I was up at 5:30, hoping to see the sunrise but it was hidden by some puffy clouds, popping out occasionally for a few minutes, then hiding behind them again. Because it's Monday, the lake is quiet, hardly a boat in sight, quite a contrast to Saturday.
Yesterday was another unseasonably warm day, not what we expect in June here at the lake, but compared to Arizona, we are having a cold spell. I heard this morning that two hikers in Phoenix died from the heat. We have been on those mountains and cannot believe anyone would hike them in the heat of the day. We did have our typical Sunday morning walk through the Chautauqua Institution and it was warm, making us look back at our walks through it in the winter, bundled up and happy. Obviously, we are not good in heat. When we got home, we did a few things in either the house or yard, not sure whether to stay inside or go out. So, instead, Evie made a good breakfast of eggs, bacon, leftover noodles and toast.

The rest of the day was a blur, not sure what we did till later in the day when it cooled off some. Evie braved the heat, with the help of a breeze, and enjoyed the dock for an hour or two, jumping in the lake when it got too warm. I did some reading, The Sympathizer, about the aftermath of the Vietnam War, the main character a mole of the Communists. Around 4:30, I rose from my couch and washed my car, filthy from the sap falling from our trees. We then decided it had cooled off some, so we took a boat ride over to Bemus Point and back along the bay, mostly pleasant, especially when we were cruising into the breeze. There were a surprising number of boats still out on the lake for a Sunday evening, as the majority of boaters head home for the week.
For dinner, Evie had pulled out some scallops from the freezer, so she seared them, made a sauce with garlic, lemon, chicken broth and vermouth and served them over pasta, another one of our favorite dinners. We watched another episode of the OJ series on ESPN, then watched the Cavs win an NBA championship. It's difficult to criticize Lebron since he had a triple double, finished with 26 points but he's not fun to watch when he holds the ball and dribbles for 15 to 20 seconds, slowing down the Cavs offense and the game. That being said, it was fun to see the ecstatic Cleveland fans and the Cavs players, many in tears. It was a tough road back from a 3-1 deficit and I think it was Kyrie who really saved them averaging over 40 points in games five and six, hitting the game winner last night in the last minute. As one of the announcers said, Kyrie's the best player in the NBA. I agree.
We went to bed around 11:30, tired and happy.
