Warming Up, Again

5:44

6:07

It's 6:15, the sun just rose a few minutes ago and it's already 64º, a high of 80º later today after freeze warnings the past couple of days, typical Chautauqua spring weather. It's now 8:50 now, Evie's up finally, and I have been up for over three hours, kayaking for 50 minutes, listening to Bill Simmons, and writing the blog, waiting for Evie to get up. 

Kayak Morning

Long Point

Yesterday it drizzled on and off much of the morning so I never did get in a paddle. I had breakfast in Bemus at 8:00, then practiced yoga from 10:00 to 11:15, as one of two guys in the class.  I then did a major grocery shopping at Wegmans, picking up enough for the weekend and beyond. It was not very crowded which made it pleasant to browse some. I came home in a drizzle and Evie had been working on Shutterfly Book #2. #1 Book is on its way and we should have it by Monday.  

Evie's Yard

Lunch was a couple of egg salad sandwiches, as I watched more Sopranos and a few minutes of basketball. I read and napped, what else to do, and woke to sunshine and blue skies as the drizzle finally stopped. Since it got nice, I could not pass up taking a paddle while Evie worked on the photographs and was out for 50 minutes on a beautiful afternoon and even got a photo of a bald eagle over near the reeds. I returned and did some yard work before we relaxed in the living room before dinner.

Kayak Afternoon

Bald Eagle Perched At Sandy Bottom

We had our typical salmon dinner, marinated filet, with sides of rice and a salad. It tasted really good for some reason, better than usual. We must have been hungry. We watched Colbert, a couple of episodes of The Lincoln Lawyer, and Jeopardy, then some junk TV before bed. It turned out to be a good day.
