Sunday was brilliant. The sunshine was brilliant, the spice mix I
ground to coat my pork tenderloin was brilliant (thanks John) and having a
barbecue and hot tub in the sunshine rounded out an ideal day that ended with
the debut episode of season two of The
Durrells in Corfu on PBS. I love the show!
I stayed home all day talking to friends on Facetime, sweeping the
deck, putting gold stars on my front door, doing the chemical treatments for
the hot tub and really enjoying my
quiet isolation.
I watched a gentle argument between a Stellar Jay and a Downey
Woodpecker. I collected twigs off my property to use as kindling and I found a
bucket with which to empty the ashes from my fire pit and fireplace.
Yesterday the birds ate as much food in one day as they’d consumed
in the entire week before. I’m going to go broke feeding these magnificent
beasties.
And YAY! Today I heard the wild turkeys on the island gobbling. I
haven’t seen any yet but I know one day I will. I love that we have them here
wandering around island. They make a lot of noise; they are kind of the mascots
of the island.
I enjoyed the entire day without any heat on. Logs must make for
good insulation!
At four, I was in the hot tub with my wireless speakers outside
listening to Rufus Wainwright and Vivaldi.
Today I hope to arrange for my roof and gutters to be cleaned of the
billions of fir needles, to get a fluoride filter for my water system and to
find a plumber to install the filter and fix my toilet.
And late this afternoon, Amy and Todd (whom I met on the ferry) are
coming over for drinks and conversation. (My life of late is more social that I
ever would have imagined.)
