Sunny, Windy, And Wild

7:00

7:36

The flag is flying, has been for the past 18 hours, and the wind chimes are chiming on a 26º morning.  I don't know where this constant 13-15 mph wind has come from.  Perhaps the change in temperature up to the 50'sand 60s in the next couple of days is a cause or it's just the end of winter.

Yesterday was a blur because neither of us left the house yet did little other than kick back, enjoy the inclement weather, the gray skies, and drizzle and not feel guilty about it. I wrote the blog, had breakfast, and then we both decided to bag going shopping, putting it off for another day.  Dinner was another problem but we solved it by pulling out some Italian sausages, buns, and a salad.  The morning went quickly and before I knew it, it was lunchtime, soup, and a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.  While I lingered, Evie worked at cleaning the kitchen cupboards, washing them down, then using oil on them.  It's amazing how dirty they get over the years from cooking.

5:27 PM

The afternoon, like the morning, was leisurely, as I napped, read, and took a short walk through the woods despite the drizzle.  It just felt good to be outside for a bit.  Evie continued with work in the kitchen until it was happy hour and we both relaxed with good cheese and a glass of wine.  By 5:30, the sky remained threatening and the wind had picked up.  We were hungry so the Italian sausages, salad, and chips hit the spot. To top off our dinner, I made tin roofs, vanilla ice cream, chocolate sauce, and Spanish peanuts. We watched Colbert,  Jeopardy and a home improvement shows before bed. It felt like a lost day.
