silver_chipmunkGot up late, at 11:30. Had breakfast and coffee, showered and dressed. Was catching up on the computer when Betsy came over and suggested we go down to the beach for rocks to make a line around the trillium patch in the back yard so it doesn't get mowed over.
So we went to the beach with kids pails and each got about half a pail of rocks. Then we came back up, pulled some weeds out, and put a half circle of the rocks protectively around the trillium.
When we finished, I mentioned that I would like to transplant some ferns to our yard, we used to have beautiful lush beds of them but they have all died out. So we were looking over ferns when Linda came by and asked if we felt like going out to lunch.
We did, so the three of us and Alan (Sue was gong in to Caledonia to have dinner with one of her sons) started searching the net for a near by restaurant that was open at 2:00. We found a place in Olcott that's in the building of the old fire station.
The ambiance was poor... inside seating, and dark, though some of the decor was interesting. The food was quite good though. I had a beef on weck, and battered mushrooms.
Then we came back, and I started reading. I'm still reading Into the Water. It's very atmospheric.
At 7:00 I Teamed the FWiB, and at 8:00 I had my D&D game. We started to battle the boss monster, but after we fought for awhile it became obvious it was an illusion cast from somewhere else. We found the real monster and will start battling it for real next week.
After we finished, I had dinner, and finished the last small bit of mead. Then I started here, and when I finish will probably read some more.
I am considering bringing the hummingbird feeder in for the night so that whatever has been stealing the nectar is thwarted. I'll think about it, the problem would be storing a full feeder upright inside.
Gratitude List:
1. The FWiB.
2. My cousins.
3. My D&D group.
4. Good books.
5. The trillium is protected now.
6. Going to transplant some ferns.
