Another Quiet Day

We slept in late, partly because the cell phones were turned off, so my regular 8:00 a.m. alarm didn't go off. I went for a walk before breakfast along the Clark Creek Road, which crosses Burney Creek, looking for wildlife, but saw only a few birds.

We enjoyed English muffins with sausage and egg and Hollendaise sauce for breakfast and then went to work cleaning, lubricating, and adjusting our bikes. They suffer from exposure on the back of the trailer, since so far we haven't found a bike cover that works for us.

We watched a special one hour edition of Now on PBS, called On Thin Ice, about climate change and its effects on glaciers--and on the people who depend on the rivers that are glacier fed, like the Indus. It also forecasts the imminent disappearance of the glaciers in Glacier National Park in Montana, where we'll be visiting the end of June along with our friends the Rowes and Erdemanns.

In the evening we watched a Hallmark Hall of Fame movie, The Courageous Heart of Irena Sendler, an inspiring but haunting story of a woman who saved 2,500 Jewish children from the Warsaw Ghetto.

Dinner was pork roast with sauerkraut, parsley potatoes, and green beans, with cole slaw for salad and lime jello pie for dessert. The pork roast came from Easter dinner leftovers from Park Sierra. When I took Sweetie out for the last time, I looked again at the inky dark night sky with its thousands of stars.
