Partly Cloudy And Cold

It' 's 8:20 and 25º as the cold or chilly days return. Right now the sun is out, although it's been hidden behind the clouds much of the morning. Well, it's 9:30 and I paddled for over a half hour, and saw few if any water fowl other than mallards. I don't think the osprey or herons are back yet. As I paddled down to Sandy Bottom, one of the neighbors yelled out, came down to my kayak and said it was nice to see me on the lake again, that it's part of their morning, 

Kayak Morning

Yesterday was a day to do nothing for me, a day of kindergarten for Evie. We were both up early, and I had coffee and wrote the blog before driving off to Bemus for breakfast at 8:00. I was home by 9:10 and finished the blog and Evie checked it before heading off to kindergarten at 9:30. I already was dressed and decided to drive to Ryders Cup for coffee with the guys. Five of the regulars chewed the fat for an hour before we all had to leave and get something done except for me. I did stop at Aldis to pick up a few things for dinner but was home by noon.

I was not very hungry so I made myself a bowl of ramen and watched some of the first NCAA games, starting at 12:15. As I was finishing lunch, I got a call from our plumber to say he was nearby and wanted to stop over to talk about airconditioning our downstairs and two upstairs bedrooms. We went over the plans and I decided to do it. They put us on their list and we will probably have it done in the next couple of months, but before summer for sure. I then read some, napped and when I woke, Evie was home, enjoying some lunch.

I was not tempted to kayak even though I skipped it in the morning. Around 5:30, we relaxed with a glass of wine and listened briefly to the news. Dinner was easy: the leftover ham, scalloped potatoes, and a salad and we watched our usual shows until Evie went to bed when I watched some of the Kansas/Arkansas game I had saved. I ended the night with Reacher of course.
