A Beautiful Sunny Day


We had summer-like weather today, and expect the same tomorrow, before a big cold front with rain comes in on Friday. It was mid 70s and great for being outside. Maggie and I walked down by the lake nearest the campground. There weren't many ducks but we did find this pelican and an egret.  No coyotes, thank goodness.



Rog and I spent time sitting outside on the patio - Rog working on his puzzle and me playing "Words" and reading.   We talked with neighbors as they came by and it was a pleasant afternoon.

We attempted to do laundry. The laundry room was full all day. Maybe tomorrow we'll have better luck getting it done.  

I still have a backache today, but things are better bed-wise.  I even woke up once last night and thought "this is nice" before going back to sleep. The instructions for the bed say give it five days on one setting you think will work before changing the firmness.  We think we have what we want as far as firmness goes, unless, of course, we both loose sleep and wake up feeling all crippled up again. 

Picked up some books and movies at the library today.  I now have my book club choice and hope to get it read and send in my "book report" before they meet in January.  It's amazing how much more reading I'm doing now that the TV is pretty much off most evenings.  I've no crochet project going right now, so books are it after checking the news and emails on the iPad and playing WORDS.  Will watch a couple movies this week, though.

I just ordered some yarn for a bathroom rug.  The bathroom is weird shaped and no regular rug purchased in a store will fit properly.  I made one a few years ago but the colors are yucky and it looks dirty all the time.  The rug will be hexagonal with "cayenne pepper" and "vanilla" being the color combo.  Striped, I'm thinking right now, but we will see when I start working on it.  It'll take me a while to make it but, hey, what else have I got to do with my time?  (Actually, I do have a writing project I need to get busy on.)

No plans for tomorrow except to enjoy the day - and maybe do some laundry.
