Foggy And Overcast

7:31

It's a gray morning, 32º but will be getting much warmer as the day progresses.  It's also St. Patrick's Day and to honor it, the city of Jamestown has dyed the Chadakoin River green.  The lake is open around Bemus Point and the Stow Ferry but mostly frozen in front of our house except for along the shoreline.

Yesterday was not much of a day for either of us.  The only thing of note was that I went to yoga on icy roads at 9:30 and had a class with two others.  Afterward, I stopped for a coffee at Ryder's Cup and that was it for the day.  When I returned home, Evie had taken everything out of our refrigerator and set it out on the porch.  She was allowing the refrigerator to thaw, as many of the vents seemed to have frozen, making it difficult to run efficiently.  According to the guide, it takes up to 24 hours for the refrigerator to thaw, so we will not be able to put things back in until sometime this morning.  

Evie left at 12:30 for an appointment with Jaret, for a hair trimming, then stopped at T.J. Maxx to return some things and of course, pick up a few other things.  I had the leftover chicken marsala for lunch with rice and watched my show.  I am reading my first James Patterson thriller and fell asleep on the couch while reading, as usual.  Evie was home by 2:30 and the both of us then worked on washing the refrigerator, all the shelves, etc, even using a hairdryer to get rid of some of the ice in the vents.  

Evie had a Zoom call with her sisters at 5:00, so we really didn't have dinner until close to 6:45 as the moussaka had to be heated and the salad made.  The mousaka was tasty, just as good as Sunday and we watched our usual, Colbert, the news, and Jeopardy as we were not in the mood to watch a film or start a new series. It was not the best of days, no hikes, just gray skies, drizzle, or sleet until late afternoon when it cleared up.
