I thought this flower was kind of cool from my walk this morning!
Hey Everybody
Welcome To
My Beautifully Sublime Sunday
Where I Am Working Myself To Death
So last night the Old Guy nearly was a goner. Ok maybe that is a stretcher, but it was pretty sketchy nonetheless. I will fill in with this quick story because quite honestly my Sunday while being very beautiful and quite sublime, was a bit monotonous as you will see shortly lol.
So as you can see the weather was not the best last night. However, my son and daughter and I felt like a nice paddle. Now it turned out to be one of those evenings on the lake where a few small lapses of good judgement started to add up and compound!
Mistake #1 going out in threatening weather. (DUH) Mistake #2 deciding we wanted to go far because there was no problem from bright sun/sunburn, plus the temps had really cooled, so it was pleasant. So as we are going along, the storm is advancing and the seas are building. So much so that Ben is not having much fun on the paddleboard and decides to go home. Ok fair enough, daughter and I will go further as the seas are about 2 feet and we enjoy paddling in the chop usually.
Now after a hour or so the Old Guy likes to jump out and stretch his legs in the shallows. I remember a hard sand bottom being near a tiny island with a hunting blind. Problem is the lake had reclaimed the island and the blind, but I felt it was around here. Of course its too dark and choppy to see the bottom. Mistake #3, I slid off the kayak, and land into sucking muck over my knees. I could not get my Crocs out of the muck to save my life. Mistake #4, I didn't want to lose a pair, so I struggled with that for 20 minutes, literally, and used a lot of energy too. I finally got them, but the kayak is chest high and I am in sucking much up to my knees. I cannot get back in. No way, no how, I am not even going to try. I start trying to "walk" in the much to find shallow water or a hard bottom. Mistake #5, walking in that stuff is like wet cement or snow. It wears you out fast!. All of a sudden I stumble on what I can only describe as a wood box like 1 foot by 1 foot. I think I will only have one chance to get in because I will instantly be blown off of the box and never find it again. So I swallowed my pride and called Ben to bring the jet ski and then hold my kayak lol. I am proud to say I managed to paddle back on my own!
I was able to go for a nice walk today. My rose is still putting out blooms even after being gnawed on by some vicious insect!
Yep that was the state of my kitchen this morning!
I literally wasted spent the entire day working to clean and reorder the area!
