Sunny
2:22 P.M.
19 F, Sunny, NW wind 13 mph.
So my Woman has her hair cut. Much shorter. Should be nice and cool for her to "wear" now. The whole process took about 45 minutes. While she was there I found a spot to park in the sun. Used all of the glass in the van as a greenhouse to keep some warm without running the engine. I should have brought a magazine or a book along to read. Listened to classical music and drank the coffee I brought along.
While sitting there I had a ring-side seat to the goings on in town. Real exciting! It is nice to see the town quiet after the noise and activity of the summer. Folks stopping for something at the hardware store, or at one of the restaurants for coffee, or what ever. There were no shortage of parking spaces and very few vehicles moving at all. Algoma is a very pleasant little city.
With the cooler weather and the wind from the NW, there was a sheet of skim ice forming on the lake. Farther out, the "warm" water colliding with the "cool" air, was causing some snow to fall in the lake about a mile from shore. The water was a very dark steel gray, in spite of the sun shining. Don't think we will go skinny dipping, even though we could have the beach to ourselves - except for the geese and seagulls.
The woodstove is a simmering today. Have to get out and get some firewood cut though. The pile keeps shrinking for some reason. Will have to break out the long-johns one of these days too. Not that it is that cold, but the rivets on my heavy work pants really are cold when the hit the bare skin of my legs. They get my attention. The pants are not your normal jeans and are made for rough work activities. Double layers of canvas on the leg fronts. Really nice for cutting wood and trees. Mosquitoes bend their noses trying to get through them too.

Margriet is baking bread - one white and one fruit. About ready to go into the oven I think. She and Brenda have been playing IM tag today. Margriet doesn't have the sound on her computer turned on, so misses Brenda when she sends a message, while doing something else. By the time she gets back to the computer and sees Brenda's message, Brenda is gone. Computer age phone tag!
Guess I had better get to doing something more active than this.
