Lazy Day

Lindsay is always yelling at us to take some time for ourselves and to just relax, so today we did just that.  We did not really tackle any projects, nor did we accomplish anything great.

We are interested in history as it is happening, so Rick taped the recovery of our Space Station astronauts that landed in Russia yesterday, and we spent part of the early morning watching NASA TV as we viewed them safely return to Earth.

We paid a couple of medical bills this morning, and I finished some paperwork for my mother, so mid-morning we drove to the Post Office.  From there we parked by the Marina and took a long walk along Edgewater Park.

Smoke billows from (or from behind) Caladesi Island.

While we walked along St. Joseph sound, we also watched as the Dunedin Police and Fire Departments took their boat out to Caladesi Island State Park.  Either the island or a large boat on the far side of the island was on fire.

The first of two scarves on the loom.  This one is plain weave
while the other will be a twill or more open lacy plan.

After lunch I worked for a while on the loom.  I am weaving the first of two scarves.  The yarn is chenille, and for some strange reason, it is fighting me all the way.  I guess we will see who wins when I remove the scarves from the loom.

We spent a little time in the back yard planning where we want to add a deck and more gardens. Rick's research tells us that a wooden or a composite deck will not do well in Florida.  Our other "deck" may have to be made of pavers. As for the gardens, for this year our planting may be finished.  I would love to plant a hibiscus yet, but we are not sure where we want to plant it!

Dinner this evening will be freshly-baked rolls and Schwan's mini beef roasts with fresh Florida strawberries. Yum!  Sometimes, just being home and doing nothing is just what we both needed.
