7:10 |
Well, it's 7:00 and I woke to our kitchen floor flooded with water. I quickly sopped it up, then went under the house to turn off the ice maker valve and found pipes were dripping, the floor puddling up. So I turned off the ice maker and the water to the house and will call the plumber at 8:00. A nice way to wake up, right. By the way, the fog is so heavy I cannot see Long Point once again. It's 8:54 and the good news is the plumber has been here, will be back to fix the problem with the ice maker hose, the source of the water leaks, and I also got in a half-hour of kayaking. All's well that ends well!
Kayak Morning |
Monday was another day with temperatures in the 80s but we were able to get things done and when we got too warm, we jumped in the lake, a body refresher. I had a long paddle to Long Point and then we finished the blog and planned our day. Evie wanted to get things done in the garden and I had a few things I wanted to get done as well. So about 10:00, Evie set up the garden hose from the lake and gave the garden and trees a good watering. I got out the hedge trimmers and gave the privets a trim. Once I was done, I drove over to Greenhurst because Evie wanted more peaches for crisps and pies. How could I say no. I also filled up my car and a couple of five gallons cans for the boat and was home by noon. Evie had finished watering by then and made me a quesadilla for lunch, with avocadoes, yum.
I watched my neverending series, tried to nap, read some then decided I would get out shopping done. Evie had a list made up for me so I was off to Wegmans around 2:00 and for once, found everything she needed and found a quick line even though it was fairly crowded for a Monday. I was surprised that more shoppers were not wearing masks because the numbers of Covid cases are rising precipitously. When I returned, I hit the couch, read, a napped briefly. Evie had spent much of the day in the garden so she went for a swim and I worked some on the brick path.
Wine Time At The Noble Vinyard |
Our neighbors, Bud and Debi had called earlier to see if we wanted to go to the Noble Winery around 4:00. It seemed like a good idea so we off to Westfield, with Barb, another neighbor. The winery is set up on a hill, overlooking Lake Eri, filled with vineyards, with the blue lake in the distance. The view is spectacular and we were able to enjoy our wine in the shade, cooled by a nice breeze off the lake. Bud and Debi had just returned from hiking the trails around Mt. Rainier so we had fun listening to their adventures. What a great way to spend the afternoon, with friends and a lovely view. We stayed until 6:00 and closed up the place and were home by 6:30.
View From The Terrace |
Evie had dinner prepped so we were able to have our salmon, rice, and garlic spinach by 6:45. And best of all, after trying another film, we found a series we like on PBS called Atlantic Crossing. It's set during WW II in Norway, as the Nazis are invading and the royal family has to flee and I assume, FDR comes to their rescue.
