Semi-Lazy Saturday

It was much too cold this morning to go out birding, although a couple from the Tiadaghton Audubon Society did lead a walk over at Hills Creek State Park. I e-mailed Dianne to see how they made out. They had the park director and a hardy family of five show. No word on how many birds they saw but it was so cold, she said, that you could see the breaths of the geese!

Terry and I stayed home where it was 17 degrees at 7:30 AM and saw plenty of birds on the feeders and in the woods around the house through the windows, thank you.

Around 11 AM we drove over to the Lowes store in Sayre to get some sheetrock for the basement. I figure 10 sheets will finish the walls in the family room area and another 10 will be needed for the workshop and the partition wall. On the way back we stopped for lunch at a little place on Route 6 in Sylvania called the Iron Skillet. Excellent food and great prices.

After unloading the truck, Terry drove off to church and I settled down to watch the Mets-Braves game on TV.

We had snow showers off and on all day but there was enough sun to make it all disappear during the off times. Even so, it never got above 30 all day.

When I get the energy to do so, I’ll purchase the materials for the chair rail that has to go up before the sheetrock. I kinda forgot that this morning while we were at Lowes.
