A Panorama of 3 photos of Fremont Lake
from the Overlook. Beverly took these yesterday.
Our house would be a mile from the lake
at top left. The lake is about 7 miles long.


Morning was sunny and still very cool and breezy. Later it clouded up and got very dark. It rained a little in the evening.

A real bummer is that when I walked Raven this morning while Joe and Sparky were gone I could see that at least half the grass seed we spread yesterday has vanished. I suspect the gophers, but maybe birds could have done it too. So far I haven't seen anything actually taking the seed, but we have bunches of the gophers living in the piles of rocks in the yard. I bet they have a dandy storehouse of seed in there now. If they work that fast, the rest will be gone by morning.

Betty called this morning and we visited for a while. She will be coming up sometime later this month to stay a while. We will probably be at the ranch. I also talked to Debbie later.

Joe first went to coffee. Only Sparky went with him. Sometimes Raven decides to stay home, and she did that today. Then he went to the ranch and fixed the toilet. I fixed him a lunch to take with him. Beverly hiked over the bike path from here to the CCC ponds where we were yesterday. She took the dogs, who did a lot of swimming at the ponds. She said it was probably between 4 and 5 miles for the round trip, including going around the ponds again because the path does a lot of winding around. I mopped the floors. Beverly washed the last window and screen that needed it, and cleaned Joe's room today, under that bed. Then we both decided that this was a day to rest, since I've been going every day for over two weeks. We laid on the couch watching TV. Dinner was boneless chicken thighs marinated in a terriyaki sauce and grilled with rice and asparagus. I made a peach/strawberry pie.

Tonight we watched the movie Australia on DVD. It was very good. Neither of us knew much about the Japanese attacking Australia in WWII, so we looked it up. If you're interested, here is a very good link about that history. (Another new DVD "Taking Chance" with Kevin Bacon came by UPS today. I knew his family and had met Chance before he was killed in Iraq.)
