Fog In The Winter

7:41

Late Monday Afternoon

It's 8:10 and 33º outside on a heavy fog morning. In fact, we cannot see Long Point, just beyond our lake wall. It looks like rain or snow today, probably rain because the highs will be in the 40s. Evie's hoping to go to school today for the kid's 100th day celebration and I have yoga so we are both up early.

Yesterday was warmer than usual, thus the big melt on the lake. By the afternoon, huge puddles littered the lake as it began to melt. However, it did not discourage the ice fishermen because they were still out there. I had a doctor's appointment in Jamestown at 10:00 so I was up and out by 9:30. Evie stayed home, hoping to feel better with her antibiotic and steroids. My appointment was quick and I ended up having my blood drawn to check on my vitals. After that, I stopped at the local weed store on Main Street in Jamestown and bought Evie a tin of gummies for sleep. Thirty-four bucks for ten gummies. I think I will invest. 

Blue Skies Mid Afternoon

I was home by 12:30 and Evie made me a great lunch, ham and Swiss sandwiches on brioche rolls and her soup. I watched my show and then relaxed with my novel until I started to doze so I took a good nap. The afternoon turned so that the sun came out, along with blue skies, highlighting the puddles on the lake. By 4:30, I had enough sitting around and knew Evie would have a Zoom call at 5:00, I put on my boots, strapped on my crampons, and walked for an hour around the icy campground. Once I hiked to the northern end, I went out on the lake and walked home on slush, ice, and puddles. Thankfully I had on my ice cleats.

Heading Home

I was back by 5:45, just as Evie was ending her call so we had our usual glass of wine and listened to the news. By 6:15, Evie was frying up some pork chops and parsleyed potatoes for our dinner. Along with a salad, we feasted as we watched two more episodes of Zero Day on Netflix. We are finally into it. Once it was over, Evie went up to bed and I watched the Cavs game, an episode of Person Of Interest, and stayed up until 10:00 to watch Luka play against his former teammates, the Mavs. I only watched the first quarter but he ended up with a triple-double. No wonder he is so talented, like Evie, he's a Slovenian!
