Peter and I spent the last day of our fall break running errands up in the Rochester area. We also stopped at a bookstore and walked along the Erie Canal.

Happy Fall, Eva. It looks like you had a beautiful and peaceful day, and wandering through a bookstore is always fun. We've had nice sunshine and 60 degree days. It goes down to 45 at night. I've pulled out my sweaters and warm socks.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! This was the first time in years we are having a few days without children together. Just the too of us. I guess we are being prepared for an empty nest. But it was a wonderful day and the Erie Canal is so pretty up there. I think our weather seems to be about the same. Our nights are a bit colder than yours, but the difference between night and day is similar. I have also gotten out some woolen underwear because it is so cold at night.
DeleteOh, that does sound cold at night if you pulled out the woolens for sleeping! And I find it's a very different feeling being together with the children grown . . freeing in a certain way, yet wistful.
DeleteSo true! You partly end up talking about things you used to do with children :). And you also realize that you have aged. It feels different being together now, not like how it was before children.
DeleteIt was warmer last night, but Leo woke me up at 4 o'clock. He wanted to go outside, but I told him he had to wait until 7 o'clock. No exploring in the dark so early!
A student of mine got bitten by a spider in RI over the break. He needs antibiotics and feels not like himself. He looked very tired in class. I did not know that there were poisonous spiders in RI!
Yes, it's as you say . . funny how life changes for us.
DeleteMy sister always waits until it's light out before the cat is able to be in the yard.
I never heard that about such a reaction to a spider bite. Morgana has had severe redness and itching, but never antibiotics. Maybe he scratched so badly after being bitten that it got infected . . ?
I remember when Julius would come back home from a night stroll with severe bite wounds. He always got into fights. Leo is much more timid, I hope he will not fight with other cats.
DeleteI don't know what kind of wound this is. It sounded quite strange to me, but he did look sick and he was in RI.
Yes, very strange . . and our cat Xena would get into fights. Greg had to take her on the bus in a carrier one time as her wound abscessed. She meowed the whole way! It was a bit stressful, but she healed well after the visit. Dear Julius and Xena! Such memories of our cantankerous cats.
DeleteOh, how stressful for Xena! Yes, you do remember those things about your pets.
