| Putting In The Dock |
It's 9:40 as I start this, having slept in until 8:00. I got out for an hour on the water, and when I came back, the dock guys were busy installing our end piece — finally. It's been a nice morning so far, though the wind is supposed to pick up this afternoon and we might get some rain. The workers are completely submerged at times, and I can only imagine how cold that lake is. Glad those days are behind me.

Yesterday turned out to be a good one, mostly because we actually got a few things done. I kayaked early as usual, came back and finished up the blog, then handed it off to Evie to edit and pick out photos. We had no grand plans for the day — just taking another bite out of the elephant, which in our case is a yard full of weeds. I tackled the main bed where Evie usually plants her dahlias, pulling weeds and roughing up the soil for replanting later in the week. It was hot enough that I worked up a real sweat and had to take a couple of breaks. All around the house we have hydrangeas that are being slowly choked out, so it's easy to spend a few minutes here and there pulling weeds and giving them a little breathing room.
By 12:30 I'd had enough. I made myself a chicken, tomato, and mayo sandwich, then read for a while and tried to take a nap that never quite happened. Meanwhile, Evie was upstairs and organizing the kitchen and getting things in order. I'm deep into my buffalo hunt book, so the afternoon became a loose rotation — a chapter, some weeding, then out with the weed whacker to work around the trees and along the lake wall.
Wine time at 5:00. We sat outside and enjoyed the late afternoon blue sky and sun. Dinner was easy — leftover pasta with mushrooms and meatballs. We watched a couple of HGTV shows until around 8:30, when Evie called it a night. I stayed up for the first half of the Knicks/Spurs game, which the Knicks won by a single point. I'll catch the second half over lunch today.
