Windy And Cold, Again

Windy Morning

It's 8:15, and I've been up for over an hour watching the sky lighten — the flag snapping in the wind, the lake ruffled and restless. Right now, both the sky and the water are a flat gray, though the sun may break through later. I checked the rain gauge this morning (a frozen 24°) and found we'd gotten an inch and a half overnight.

Yesterday was a weather-wild day. The morning, though, was sunny and delightful — I got in a paddle and took some great photos. We were both up early, Evie for school and me for yoga. Class was the usual: crowded and seemingly endless. Afterward, I made a quick pass through Walmart and left with little to show for it — just 20-pound fishing line to string along the lawn and keep the geese away.

I was home just after noon, hungry, so I heated up leftover chicken, mushrooms, and artichoke hearts and settled in for another episode of my Romanian series. The sun was still out when I decided to nap. I woke to thunder and lightning. Downstairs, Evie was already home from school. It rained, then stopped, and as the afternoon wore on, a heavy fog rolled in and swallowed much of the shoreline. The view during wine time was so striking, I grabbed the camera.

Choppy Waters

Wind And Rain And Long Point

Dinner was Greek feta-and-turkey burgers from Wegmans, with French fries. We watched Landman as the wind picked up and rain hammered the roof. Evie turned in after a couple of episodes, and I finished my series before catching the end of Purdue's win over Texas.
