I was up at 6:40, to an awakening and colorful dawn. Now, at 7:52 all is gray as a cloud cover and probably rain has moved into the area. It's a chilly 34º, with some wind but should get up to 50º later in the day.
Yesterday was a busy and fun day for us, not our usual Sunday of a walk at the Chautauqua Institution although the weather is starting to cooperate. We had a morning of 'large leisure', enjoying coffee, writing the blog, having some granola, listening to some of Sunday's news program, mostly, though, waiting for a lunch of pancakes and sausage.

We were excited because Red's Pancake House, a 12-mile drive from our house, on Sherman/Clymer Road was opening for the next two months on weekends. We try to have breakfast there every year and so we were happy to go there yesterday. It was warm and cosy when we arrived, not too busy and because we have gone there many times, we have gotten to know the owner and the waitresses which is fun.

We love their buckwheat pancakes, served hot, with their own maple syrup and a couple of sausage patties. It's all you can eat pancakes so I had five, Evie four although we probably could have eaten more. By the time we left at 1:00, it was crowded, as church may have let out for some.

We had an easy afternoon, no worrying about dinner because we were invited to Linda and Ron's. So I watched some basketball, took a nap, read and Evie did much of the same, although she spent a couple of hours scanning old photos and adding them to Google albums. The idea, of course, is to throw out the photo but she's finding that hard to do. Most of the afternoon, the lake was busy and we marvelled at how lucky we are to have action (ice fishing) in front of our house but far enough away (along Long Point) to not be a bother. It seems like there is always something to see, either fishing huts, four wheelers driving out to fish, snowmobiles, hikers, or cross-country skiers yet it's still quiet.

We left for Linda and Ron's at 6:00 as dusk arrived. They greeted us with the good news that they had sold their cottage next door. So we had something to celebrate. We relaxed in front of a nice fire, with appetizers and beers and talked about how much both of us enjoyed the film Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri among other things, like our mutual dislike for all that Trump stands for. Dinner was a pork tenderloin wrapped in prosciutto, mashed sweet potatoes, creamed onions and peas, and a salad, all amazingly good of course. We stayed till just after 10:00, enjoying a cheese and fruit plate for dessert.

It looks like no yoga this morning as I have strained my iliopsoas muscle, again, so I am going to take a couple of days off. Depressing.
