Home Alone 1

Athens, NY
No LL

Twenty minutes ago I dropped Libby off in Hudson to catch her train to New York. Already I feel lonely on Tarwathie. Just kidding. I hope she has a wonderful power lunch in Manhattan.

This morning is exceptionally beautiful. I got up at six and took my coffee out on the deck. The wind is so still that the water reflects like a mirror, and with the sun just risen, the cirrus clouds high above look lovely. I took several pictures of the scene and the reflections on my camera.

I also saw for the first time a herd of whitetail deer on the island we've been anchoring near. It is the first time in several years that we've seen deer.

Also, when I pulled up at the public dock here in Athens, there was a pair of
geese strutting around with their dozen goslings. They look so cute, but they make such messes!

All and all, it makes for a glorious day to enjoy being home alone. I think I'll mosey on down to the Athens Stewarts store for coffee and a donut.

p.s. Libby and I read a fascinating true crime story yesterday in the Washington Post. It makes CSI sound like child's play. Read it yourself. Read here first. Read here second.
