Happy 50th Anniversary, Bryan and Susan!
Brian and I took our time rising this morning. I am listening to Sapiens on my iPhone and reading The Gene on my iPad; so, I have plenty of interesting reading to occupy me. Brian went downstairs and brought us back tea, juice and yogurt to accompany our reading.
Later we enjoyed our breakfast of small waffles with scrambled eggs and bacon while having a dining room to ourselves with a view of fresh snow on the phragmites beside the hotel.
We parked near the campus and went for an hour and a half walk around St. Lawrence University and downtown Canton. The Grasse River crosses Main Street and Little River is a delightful winding tributary that runs past the end of the campus. The beautiful red sandstone Cole Hall reading room would be my favourite place to study!
Our four and a half kilometre walk was not sufficient to close the move rings on my Apple Watch. Another six and a half hour drive made for a second sedentary day. Although the first couple of hours were on snow covered roads with snow falling, Brian did not drive us into any ditches. We saw cars and trucks in ditches. Those vehicles probably did not have snow tires as we do.
It was very pretty driving through the Adirondacks. Past Tupper Lake the roads were dry and the sun kept sneaking out from behind the clouds. Upstate New York is beautiful wilderness with cycling lanes, hiking, rivers and lakes for paddling, skiing, lots and lots of forest!
We safely delivered Alex home where we were welcomed with big hug sand a delicious steak dinner with polenta, squash, salad and Julie’s chocolate layer birthday cake.
No snow at Shawn’s. The same cannot be said for Grey County where schools were closed and a foot and a half or more of snow blanketed everything. Adrian has been busy blowing snow. Thanks, Adrian!
