Another Reservation Made

Photo
Click on the photo to enlarge and look at the end of the tree that's fallen over the water. See the large lump on the end and three smaller lumps above it? Those are turtles sunning themselves on the Windsor Locks Canal.

News
I’ve made another reservation for the Erie Canal trip. This last one is for Hambleton House in Lockport. The only B&B to be heard from is Angel’s Nest in Rome—the converted Convent. Oh, I’ve heard from them, but not by phone where I can give my CC number to hold our reservation. It really sounds like a neat place. Now Kathy and I need to decide on which motels and I’ll make those reservations.


A good bike riding day
Yesterday, Saturday, I went for another ride. The weather forecast originally said we would be cloudy, off and on rainy, and in the 50s. That was changed to mostly sunny, and temps in the 70s. I hit the road for a short ride, 15 miles, and by the time I got back home, it was 80 big degrees on my thermometer!!!!! The official high temp at Bradley International in Windsor Locks was 79°. Even though I had sunscreen on, my face feels a little tight and it looks like my upper arms might have a slight pink tinge—even though I was wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt.


It felt good to have the furnace off and windows open.

That was yesterday. Today we have had little sun and barely 50°.
