A Fine Morning For A Paddle

It's 8:30 and I just returned from a 55-minute paddle on a calm lake, finally, little wind, a partly cloudy sky, and 29º. I didn't see any interesting waterfowl, the usual geese, mallards, and scared off groups of buffleheads. The sun has tried to burst out through the clouds to no avail, although it has been lighting up the southern sky.

Kayak Morning

North, Again

Monday was another snowy and windy day, thus no morning kayaking. We didn't do much early on, other than listening to our favorite radio show on Sirius Radio, the Michael Smerconish show. I knew I wanted to get out of the house, so I volunteered to go to Wegmans and pick up a couple of prescriptions for Evie and some necessities for our dinners this week. 

Long Point Yesterday At 10:24 AM

I stopped for a coffee, then shopped for a few things, then headed home, arriving around noon. Evie was busy making cookies with peanut butter and chocolate chips. I was hungry since I only had a banana for breakfast. Evie also had made a pot of mushroom barley soup, so I had a bowl of it along with the leftovers from our Sunday night Mexican dinner. I watched another episode of Slow Horses on AppleTV, then read and briefly napped.

Afternoons are usually our time to relax, but by 3:00 I was bored and wanted to get in some exercise since I wasn't able to kayak, so I walked our woods for forty-five minutes. It's an easy walk, mostly through woods, and in our backyard, so we are lucky. I ran into my neighbor Jim, out walking his dog, Ripley. I was home by 4:30, and by 5:00, we were enjoying a glass of wine and sushi from Wegman's. 

Last Night's Sky At Dusk

Dinner was baked cod, with lemon, salt, and pepper, and hot sauce, along with baked potatoes and spinach. We have rarely if ever, had cod, so it was a pleasant surprise, and we will certainly buy it again. We watched a couple of episodes of All Saints, but both of us are getting tired of it, too many depressing episodes. Evie went to bed early, and I watched some Monday Night Football for 20 minutes, then another episode of Slow Horses before bed.
