It got up to 82 degrees for a bit; most of the day was in the upper 70s. For my readers in North Carolina, this is what the sun looks like. 😁
Because it was a weekend, we put Toby in his crate and hopped on our bikes and rode out to Honeymoon Island. We kept our distance and wore our 😷 while on the narrow and crowded causeway.
The beaches were packed with people.
A gorgeous day
Today's bike route out to the island.
John went to Home Depot and bought a light fixture for our closet, like the one we installed in the laundry room. The current one was florescent and stopped being reliable. I told him it didn’t matter since we don’t wear any of those clothes anymore, but he insisted. Getting dressed in retirement is about putting on the same elastic shorts you wore yesterday and getting a fresh t-shirt. How much light does that take?
Anyway, I have a new project to complete.
Today’s activity was to rake the backyard. Our back neighbors have an oak tree. It was easier than I thought because our backyard is small. I’ve also learned to do a half-ass job when raking because there will always be more tomorrow.
I found this Adirondack chair online. It’s made out of recycled plastic, melted into a resin and then formed into wood-like planks. I like this one because it’s full size, a modern interpretation of a classic, the back slats are angled on the sides (the back is not flat across), the front edge is a waterfall instead of a harsh edge, and the seat bottom is contoured. We wanted a bright color, but this one only comes in black, white, sand, brown, and gray. But the more I thought about our house the more I lean to white. Our house is busy-looking enough without adding colorful chairs. Besides, the chairs will have green bushes behind them, making the chairs pop. Any thoughts?

Anxious to hear our decorator family member’s opinion. So glad you are getting the chairs. I know you have been interested in them for a long time. Your weather is amazing. Our sun finally came out at 3:00 but still cool. Can’t wait to hear more about the chairs. I LOVE my new pantry motion sensor light Jeff installed. I smile everytime I open and close the pantry door. It is so cool.
