Not A Cloud In The Sky

Another amazing fall morning, as the orange blush of early morning, has turned to a light blue as I wait for the sun to rise. I was up at 5:45, just as it was beginning to get light. Now I am waiting for the sun to rise a few minutes after 7:00 so that I can kayak. It's 48º and clear and the highs should only be in the 50s today. It's 8:45, the sky is blue, the sun is bright in the southern sky and I have been out for an hour, photographing a heron and eagle, and a good morning kayaking.

My Sunday was filled with football in the afternoon, and kayaking and biking in the morning, in other words, a good day despite being home alone. I was up early, out on the lake by 7:30, on a bizarre paddle, with dark, threatening skies to the south and drizzle but sunshine and blue skies to the north. I then finished the blog, had breakfast, took a walk, and decided to get in a bike ride. I am tired of Long Point and Mayville, so I drove to Lakewood, parked my bike, and rode to Celeron, then on to Mc Crea Point and JTNY Power House Skate Park in Jamestown. I swear that no matter in which direction I bike, it's always into the wind. I was out for over an hour and worked up a sweat. I ended up enjoying a latte in Ryders Cup and talking with the barista Joyce until I was ready to go home.

It was 1:00 when I returned home, time for a big breakfast. I fried up some baked potatoes, topped them with eggs, and watched the Bill's first half. I had enough TV football by then and adjourned to the couch to read and nap. I had the game saved so after my nap, I watched the Bills lose to the Jets, alas, but they deserved to lose. I then did some yard work as more twigs had fallen, even some branches from our maples in the front yard. I was so bored that walked around Woodlawn's front yards as the sky started to darken at 5:00. I then enjoyed a beer and listened to CNN until  I was hungry.

Earlier, I had pulled a leftover meatloaf out of the freezer so I heated a few slices up in the microwave and also microwaved some mashed potatoes from Aldi's and I had a decent dinner by 6:45. I then made the mistake of watching a new film on Netflix called Wild Is The Wind. I watched it because it was a South African film, set in South Africa. It had the potential to be good but it ended up being overdone and unfocused. I ended the night watching the Chief's first half, then went to bed, too tired to watch the second half. They won in overtime.
