6/15/24

 I started the day very early. I woke up around 4 am with a trip to the bathroom. The days of my bladder being able to make it the whole way through the night are long over. I was trying to decide if I should just stay up or go back to sleep. The fresh air makes for good sleeping weather.

I tried to go back to sleep. The next thing I knew it was 8:30. Wow! That never happens. I felt like part of the day was wasted.

The days here are lazy and include a lot of outside time. I walked the dogs. I like walking them up here because they get to run off leash, smell all the smells, pee on things, and run full blast. Penny especially loves this. She runs full speed, chasing anything that moves. 

Ferguson and Jiminy mostly stick close, stopping occasionally to smell something. I totally enjoy watching them. I enjoy the bobolink’s flying around and singing their song. I call them robot birds. To me they sound like robots. They are cute with their yellow heads.

As I embrace aging, I enjoy trying to learn the different bird songs. Up at camp I think the funniest bird noises are from the raven’s. But the bobolink’s song is one of my favorites.

They are kind of cool little birds. They migrate to South America 4 or 5 times in their lifespan. That is like 12,500 miles. I am lucky enough to see them up here.

The afternoon was spent soaking up sunshine and visiting. I walked the dogs a few times, getting in my own fitness to try to counter balance my junk food intake.

We went to dinner at Texas Roadhouse. My food was delicious. I had a margarita and it was quite delicious. 

We watched the sun set over Lake Ontario creating a picturesque backdrop to our campfire. This is pretty great!

Now off to bed with my best snuggler Jiminy!
