Today was a little quieter. The planned activity was an all-day birding excursion, which we opted to skip. We did go on the small free ferry to the adjoining island with the group - but we were in our car (with another couple who elected to join us), and had a nice time driving around, looking at a few birds, picking up neat rocks. The woman who was with us, Barbara, was a geologist, so she told us a lot about the rocks we saw. Also I found out how to pronounce a word I had only seen in print before...Chalcedony. Basically, it's a red rock, and is pronounced "kal SAID o nee". See - we always learn something new - even if it's unexpected.
I got Betsy's socks mailed to her, and we visited a local knit shop. (suprise!). I bought a couple of skeins of New Brunswick yarn (lucious with lanolin) at $5.00/skin, plus a few odd balls of left-over yarns from the "free basket", which the owner insisted we raid. Great fun.
Supper was another triumph from the sea - salmon this time. Plus I got a load of laundry done.
All in all, a very satisfactory day.
