Yep, A Foggy Morning

 It's 7:25 and I have been up for an hour, listening sporadically to Morning Joe, as the fog just sits on the lake.  I can just make out the dock, so there's no action on the lake, just the squawking of Canadian geese off in the grayness.  It's going to be awhile before I can get in a paddle.  Well, it's 9:00 and I just got back from kayaking, catching a blue heron in flight on a lake as calm as I have ever seen.  What a great morning.

Kayaking To Long Point

Heron In Flight

Sunday was another beautiful day on the lake, perhaps too hot during the afternoon, getting up to 86º, close to record-setting.  The morning, however, was bearable, so we enjoyed a leisurely coffee before taking an hour paddle over to Tom's Point and home.  The weekenders were just waking so we had little traffic as we kayaked, unlike later in the afternoon when the lake was busy.  It was warm enough for us to seek the shade of the shoreline when possible.

We were both hungry when we got back, so Evie made a big breakfast, this time an omelet with mushrooms, tomatoes, and cheese, a toasted bagel to compliment the eggs.  We wanted to have breakfast on the boat but decided it was already too warm for that.  So we sat in our TV room and watched CBS Sunday morning.

Sunday Morning Dock Time

We then spent the next few hours either enjoying the dock, or relaxing in the house, neither of us up for much activity except for a watering of our garden, using a sump pump in the lake.  We wanted to go for another boat ride, so around three, we jumped in our boat and cruised down beyond the bridge to Niets Crest, in the southern half of the lake.  As long as we kept a decent speed, it was comfortable but if we just meandered, it was hot.  We were out for a good hour, with lots of others as it was as nice a day on the lake as we have had.

7:22 PM

When we got back, it was wine time, so Evie breaded some pork chops and made a cheesy cauliflower casserole, both ready to heat when we were ready to eat.  So we got out a good cheese, sipped our wine, enjoyed our appetizers, and watched the lake traffic slowly ebb as a couple of guys fished off of Long Point as it got dark. It felt like a mid-summer night. We had our dinner as we watched TV, another Real Time with Bill Maher and some of the news channels.
