| 7:04 |
I woke at 7:00 and would have missed sunrise if there had been one. The clouds, however, dominate the sky this morning, a gray canopy above a slate gray lake. It' 36º and will have a high in the low 40's later in the day, quite a difference from the past few days in the '60s.
Yesterday was another fine spring day, lots of sun, blue skies, puffy clouds, even a strong wind, enough to create white caps on the lake. I decided to skip yoga on nice days like yesterday, get some things done in the house and get in a good hike. After coffee, breakfast and the blog, Evie and I worked some on putting the attic back in order, something that we will tackle, like eating an elephant, one part at a time. Everything was pulled out at Christmas time when our kids came and we have yet to put it back in at least a usable way.

| Long Point State Park |
I decided I had not really hiked Long Point State Park in weeks, maybe months. Evie decided she wanted to walk at the Y so I drove to Bemus Point and along Lakeside Drive and parked just outside the park. I admit it was not the most enjoyable of walks because all I wanted to do was get it over with.

| Hiking To The Tip Of Long Point |
None of this enjoy the going, 'to travel is better than to arrive.' All I wanted to do is get it over with, maybe even make it shorter but I persevered, wanting to get in at least two and a half miles, so I stuck it out all the way to the tip of Long Point and back, over an hour and 2.6 miles. I have been used to much shorter walks in our woods so I want to get back into shape so I can happily go four or five miles.

On the way home I stopped at Hogan's Hut and picked up a roast beef sub for lunch. When I returned home, Evie was gone to the Y and to do some shopping. So I had the house to myself for a couple of hours. I had lunch, the sub, watched some Ozark, read, napped, and basically waited for her to get home.
When it hit 3:00 I knew she was doing more than just shopping at Wegmans and working out at the Y. And I was correct as she came home with a couple of bags filled with dahlias from Walmart where you can get quite a few interesting ones fairly cheap. She also had been to Wegman's so once all that was put away, we both took it easy until 5:00 when we both took showers because we were going out for dinner for the first time since we returned from our Western trip.

| Sun And Clouds At 6:15 PM |
Linda and Ron picked us up at 6:15 and we drove to Greenhurst, to Steener's Irtish Pub for their steak special, always a favorite. We had a beer at the bar, munched on some popcorn before finding a booth and ordering our dinners. All four of us had the special, either a filet or delmonico with fries. And as usual, all were happy with their dinners except me. My steak was a poor cut, too much fat, and gristle. At least everyone else was happy and I loved my fries. We had not seen Linda and Ron since early March so we had lots to talk about. We left around 8:15, driving home under an amazing sky.

| Driving Home |
We watched a truncated Colbert, shortened because of the basketball game, then Home Town, our favorite home fix it upper show before going up to bed. It was a busy but good day.
