Stay at Home

Not much to report today. As usual, sunny in the morning and up until around 4:00 p.m., when the sky opened up. We had a driving rain that just didn't let up for hours, with high winds, lightning, thunder, black clouds. Finally the rain petered out, but the sun never peaked out again. We didn't get out for our evening walk until 8:30 p.m. At the pond, the froggy chorus was in full swing by then, counterpointed by the rasping of insects.

We did some more trip planning today. It's actually easier to be working and following a regular schedule of activities. We pretty much have to invent our lives on the fly, except for the regular alternation of day and night, waking and sleeping, eating and exercising, shopping and cooking and eating.... We decided to go to Weeki Wachee Springs State Park on Saturday. Tomorrow we'll go to Clearwater Beach, where we're hoping to walk on the beach, swim, and bike a bit while the sun is still shining.


I removed all the screens and took them outside to wash. While they were down, I washed the insides of the windows. Ken helping me reinstall them. The larger ones especially are easier to handle with two people. He oiled the wood in the living/kitchen area. There's plenty of wood to oil!
