Kayaking, Changing Skies, And Drizzle

It's a fall-like morning sky, lots of clouds, some blue, some sunshine and an occasional shower. I paddled under the shower for about 15 minutes as I made my way back home, with blue skies surrounding me.  Lots of bass boats out as there is a fishing tournament today.  At 7:00, they blasted out of Long Point Marina, racing off to the far corners of the lake.  

Kayak Morning

Kayaking In The Rain

Yesterday was a bizarre day, hot and humid early and chilly late, fleece type of weather.  I returned from my paddle in a sweat, wondering why until I realized how humid it was even in our house.  After the blog and breakfast, Evie got busy making up some sauces for tonight's dinner.  I enjoyed my breakfast out on the dock as is my wont.  Evie joined me but we soon realized the sun was too hot and bright so we headed back inside. I then gathered up the trash and took it to the Transfer Station, my tasks done for the day.

Our Favorite Tattoo Parlor

Around 11:00, I decided to drive to Lakewood to support two businesses, the bookstore, and wine store.  Both were having a celebration, offering 10% off of books or wine.  I had to laugh as the Tattoo Parlor, next to the bookstore, was brandishing a huge Trump sign.  It's nice to know your tattoo parlors support Trump.  I briefly browsed the bookstore but it was crowded so I  left and went to the wine store and bought a bottle of Zinfandel for tonight's dinner. I felt like I did my duty, supporting a couple of small businesses and drove home,  

When I came home, Evie was finished in the kitchen and I then did up the dishes, the least I could do after her morning.  I had the last of the lentil soup for lunch with croutons and watched my show before going upstairs, turning on the air conditioner and read until I fell asleep.  We both wanted to get outside and enjoy the day but it was still too hot and humid so we both hung out inside, watching TV and reading until about 5:00 when the weather changed, as clouds and winds came in, temperatures dropped at least 15º and it was time to get out either a fleece or blanket.  We decided to enjoy a Saturday Manhattan and appetizers on the porch and Evie wrapped herself in a blanket.  It was a beautiful late afternoon, the sun highlighting both Long Point and Tom's Point as the lake traffic slowly disappeared.  We were looking forward to dinner, BLT with Utz chips and a Pepsi.  Sometimes, there's nothing better than a tried and true meal. We watched a good Real Time With Bill Maher. We ended the night with Building Off The Grid, saving a new series until next week.
