Another beautiful sunny blue sky day! After making a raspberry pie this morning, I sat with my cappuccino on the deck in the sunshine, watching the birds and reading. It was 12C!
Julie did not have school today and Shawn and Agnes came home early. We went for a hike at the Washburn Preserve in Branford along the Long Island shore. We had seen osprey and other wild fowl on a previous visit here but we did not see a lot of birds today. We did watch a young buck watching us.
Shawn led or directed us around 4.5 kilometres of marsh, huge rocks, across a rocky ridge and a wooden bridge. I photographed the other five who climbed an enormous erratic. The setting sun cast a soft golden light on everything. A lovely rambling hike!
While the rest of us went home, Shawn and Agnes braved the busy grocery and liquor stores to get the last items before tomorrow’s closed day for Thanksgiving.
Shawn is preparing salmon for this evening’s dinner.
Last night Agnes won Ratchett. I was second. Brian had to settle for tying Shawn for third while Alex and Julie brought up the rear.
