A chilly day today – enough that we actually turned the furnace back up again – but that’s okay.  We got rain!

Not much, mind you, and I never actually saw it rain, but things are damp out there, which is so good to see.  Tomorrow, we’re supposed to get more.  I certainly hope we do!  As nice as what we got today was, it’s no where near enough, though we are still supposed to get more now and again, throughout the night.

We saw a new bird this morning.  I just barely got a few photos before it took off.

An American Goldfinch.  I’ve seen them at my sister’s bird feeder, and was hoping they would show up in our area, too.  Just the one, so far, but at least I know we can expect to see more of them.

Though we did get rain today, there is still a burn ban, and we haven’t done a burn in ages, so our trip to the dump today included stuff that would normally go into the burn barrel.  We also got another load of paint out of the garage.  One more trip should clear out the last of what’s there right now.

After going to the dump, my daughter and I went into town for an errand, taking advantage of the trip to play some Pokemon Go.  Which meant our regular stop at a Pokegym at the beach.  The lake was so choppy in the wind, I had to go and get pictures.

The town has finished grooming the beach.  It all looks like a giant Zen garden right now. :-D

Definitely not boating conditions!  The water is still very cold, and the wind off of the lake was pretty chill.  Neither of us had jackets, so we didn’t stay long!

With the chill and the damp, this evening sounds like a good time to sit with a hot cup of tea and catch up on some crochet. :-D
