Another Chilly, Bright Sunny Morning

Rhys, our fashionable great-grandson

9:15

It's later than usual as I start this, 9:40, because I was out kayaking for an hour and twenty minutes, and then had to talk to Schwab because of a confusing email. Fortunately, it seems to be about nothing. It was 38º when I woke and was chilly while out on the lake.

Kayak Morning

Heron Hidden In The Reeds

Yesterday was a good day, although I didn't get out for a paddle due to the wind, and also because of breakfast at 8:00 in Bemus Point. I hurried home, thinking I might get in some kayaking but the lake was choppy and windy. So I finished up the blog with Evie's help and by 9:30, she was off to kindergarten and I had to decide what to do with my day. I eventually decided to drive to Lakewood, stopping for coffee, and then deposit a check at the bank.  I then returned home, fastened my bike to the Outback, and drove to Mayville to ride my bike. I rode Webb's Trail, then Sea Lion Drive, and was out for close to an hour. It felt good to be in the woods, then on Sea Lion even though I seemed to fight the wind going both ways.

On my way home, I stopped at the Lighthouse and ended up buying only a bag of chips for our dinner. Lunch was black bean soup and the last of the meatloaf, with lots of ketchup, of course. I watched my show and then went upstairs to read and ended up taking a good nap, a deep sleep, so that when I woke, I wasn't sure if it was morning or afternoon. Evie was home when I woke and had another good day at school.  I read for a while but soon got bored and decided to go for a walk in the Woodlawn/Victoria woods on a sunny afternoon. It's a half-hour walk, through the woods on a nice path, but I still am aware of ticks and wear appropriate clothes and check for ticks when I get home. It felt good to walk at this time of the day, with the sun still bright in the trees.

We had our wine time until 6:30 when Evie made our dinner, BLTs and potato chips. What could be better than a BLT! We watched a couple of episodes of All Saints, and once Evie went to bed, I watched the first half of the Giants/Eagles game, then an episode of Spooks before going up to bed.
