What a good day!
Three days straight of sunny weather now, hot but not unbearably
so…beautiful surroundings and lots of relaxation!
I finally had a chance to use the bike this morning, riding
down along the lakeshore to the birdwalk and back. Then we relaxed in the shade, reading while
awaiting the arrival of Dan’s cousin Mike Collins, his wife Mary, and his
mother Ruth (Dan’s aunt). They all live
in Richland Center, WI during the warm months, but Mike and Mary keep a trailer
in Englewood, FL, not far from here, which they enjoy for four months or so
each winter. They visited with us for
about three hours of lunch, conversation and laughter. (Lots of stories about “River City” life.)
In late afternoon Dan took the spotting scope up to the
lake, and we saw about a dozen types of birds.
Again, no roseate spoonbills, which were so abundant on our first
camping trip here, but there were anhingas, ibises, herons, and lots of little
shorebirds.
We tested out the AC for the first time this year, and yes,
it works fine. The temperatures have
been dropping into the low 70’s at night, but it was really humid, so the AC
made for a good night’s sleep.
