Spring Fling 2011 - Day 8

The day started with a bang - literally - as a very loud thunderclap directly overhead woke me betimes, although being accustomed to such things both Jean & Peter slept on through the storm.  The day was pleasant and relatively quiet.  I am beginning to understand why projects take a long time here.  The plan to replace a doorlock & a deadbolt never actually got beyond opening the package & reading the instructions, a combination of mutual AAADD and conversations, and meals quietly overtaking our good intentions.

In the afternoon Pete had to go for some extensive physical therapy and after dropping him off Jean & I returned to a local large pond/small lake and proceeded to walk all around it twice, at 20 minutes/lap.  It contained a lot of lillypads all very close to blooming and a wide variety of water birds, herons, egrets, spoonbill, cranes, ibis, coots and anhinga, a bird I had never seen before.

After dinner I introduced Jean to Facebook, which consumed us in setting her up to such an extent that Pete retired to bed and left us to it!  It has been a pleasant and relaxing day.
