Below Zero Morning

7:50

It turned out to be a beautiful morning although it started with threatening clouds off Long Point but by 7:20, blue skies began to appear and the sun rose above the clouds by 7:50.  It was -3º when I got up at 6:45 and an ice fisherman was already walking out, putting up his tent in front of our house, a football field's length away. As I finish this, it's warmed up to 3º. 

Up And Out At 7:00

Saturday was a bore, mostly because we both thought it was not safe to go cross country skiing in single-digit weather, with a wind chill below zero much of the day. So we amused ourselves with some cleaning and organizing in the morning before gathering the trash and my heading off to the Transfer Station, my only jaunt of the day.  

A Sunny And Cold Saturday

Lunch was a tuna sandwich with another bowl of lentil soup and another episode of The Sopranos.  Thankfully I am enjoying my Lousie Penny book so that took up much of the rest of the afternoon as well as some TV watching with Evie. We wanted to watch a film but could not find something we liked so we went back to a series we stopped watching a couple of years ago, Ozark, to see if it piqued our interest.  

Saturday Afternoon Fishing

Around 5:00, Evie put together our dinner, a French recipe for a chicken curry that we liked.  It has apples and bananas as well as cream and we usually have it with leftover lamb but Evie used chicken this time. Once it was simmering and the rice was on, we enjoyed our wine as herds of snowmobiles zipped past Long Point, heading to Mayville we assumed.  

Snowmobile Lights

Around 6:30 we ate our curry over rice and had a heck of a time finding something to watch. We started with Showtimes Yellowjackets but it was too violent.  Then, we tried Netflix's "The Woman In The House..." but it was silly and predictable so we watched a couple of more episodes of The Good Fight and we are now into Season Two.
