Lots Of Clouds And Sun

7:30

7:54

It's 8:11 and I have been up for forty-five minutes, watching the sky change, from dark, to some sunshine, to clouds again. It's 40º and won't get much warmer during the day. It's 9:30 and I paddled down to Sandy Bottom and back, rousting geese and buffleheads as I paddled. 

Kayak Morning

Northern Clouds

Sunday was typical, with getting up late, and then enjoying coffee, while waiting for Evie to wake. I then kayaked down to Whitney Bay and back on a chilly morning. I am glad I wore a couple of layers and mittens while paddling. When I returned, Evie was up listening to CNN and I made myself another cup of coffee and breakfast,  Around 11:00, I felt myself losing my mojo so I put on my hiking boots and walked the Woodlawn/Victoria woods for the first time since the snow has melted. Leaves covered the paths and they were little wet areas. When I returned home, Evie was cleaning up the kitchen and I relaxed with my book until 1:00 when I had breakfast, brioche scrambled egg sandwiches and I began watching some of March Madness. I save most of the games so after a half hour, I got fed up with the seemingly neverending commercials, read, and napped instead, knowing I could watch the games later. 

After my nap, I took a shower,  then watched some of the games or read until 5:15, when we left to pick up Ron and Linda and drive to the White Inn in Fredonia for dinner, a half-hour drive. The Inn reopened a few months ago, and we have always liked it. We were hoping to sit at the bar but all ten stools were taken so we sat at a nice booth in the barroom. It was fun to catch up with them because like us, they took a trip last weekend to Washington for three nights. 

Sunday Dinner At White Inn

We decided on light dinners, so I ordered a bowl of clam chowder and a steak sandwich and Evie ordered spaghetti and meatballs. Both were tasty and just what we wanted. So with a couple of Chautauqua lager drafts, the four of us were happy. We skipped dessert as usual and left around 7:45, getting home around 8:30. Evie was tired and went up to bed and I watched some basketball until I had enough for a Sunday and went up to bed to read and sleep, a good day.
