Overcast And Drizzle

6:43

7:20

I woke in time to see the risen sun just before it hid behind the clouds next to Long Point.  It's' now a gray morning and lake, with some rain possible later.  It's humid, muggy is a better word, and 68º. According to Buffalo's NPR, Stockton and Cassadaga, about 15 miles from us have flood warnings because they received 3 inches of rain this morning.

Yesterday was a third day of yoga, a good class with Jen, quite a different group from the previous two days, as people obviously have their favorite classes or teachers. We had a long savasana which I always like.  When I got home, Evie was out helping clear our next door neighbor's lake front of weeds.  I got busy, too, and decided to take down and clean my purple martin house, a fairly easy house unless the pole gets stuck in its base, which it did.  The houses had three or four nests, both sparrow and martin, and I washed the individual sections down with the hose and put the house away until next April 15th.

By 12:30, both Evie and I were through with work, so she went out to enjoy the dock, and I had lunch, yep, pizza and soup, and watched some Olympics.  I taped the US men's volleyball game with Poland, took a nap and went outside to enjoy the dock and read with Evie.  We both got tired of doing nothing, so Evie decided to cut the lawn, her way of doing something, and I watched the US defeat Poland, my way of doing something.  It was a great game, US winning in three, and I am getting to know the players on both the men and women's teams which makes it more fun.

Around 5:00, we took a nice boat ride over to Bemus Point, checked out the Casino which seemed busy, then cruised home along Lakeside Drive, our usual ride, enjoying the late afternoon sun.  When we got home, I put the cover on the boat, Evie made a salad, and I cooked a couple of Bubba burgers outside, following the directions but they ended up being hockey pucks.  We did not have anything we wanted to watch, were not ready to start a series, so we watched bits and pieces of The Nightly Show (last show tonight), and Chopped.  I am getting to the end of NOBODY'S FOOL, so I was happy to go up to bed early and read.

Today we were supposed to have breakfast at one of my breakfast club friend's home, a few miles north of Mayville.  He just called to say they got 4 inches of rain this morning, lost power, so we will have to reschedule it.  He has bemoaned the fact that his hop farm has gotten practically no rain this summer, so of course, he got it all at once.

It's now 7:40, the sun has peaked out from above the clouds, the lake still gray, misty, the air filled with humidity.
