canyonwalkerThis morning I wrote about the changing seasons. While changes such as wearing pants (instead of shorts), the rainy season starting, and the weather turning cool enough to need the heater at home are indicators that fall has arrived, fall here does not mean they happen every day. That's winter! And since it's just fall it turned out I didn't wear pants today. It was warm enough that I wore shorts and was comfortable.
Also, when I went out to the hot tub this morning it was already somewhat warm and... not gloomy.
The air temperature might have been only 66° F (19° C) but it felt warm with the sun shining. Yes, the sun was shining by not long after 11am. That's a change from most of this past week, when the sky remained gloomy into the afternoon. The overcast was part of why temperatures remained pants-appropriate. But today it warmed up to 73°. It almost felt like summer... especially after a cool summer this year in the region.
After a late-morning soak in the hot tub I went out for lunch, did some food shopping, and then came home and frittered— much as I expected I would today. But then around 5pm an Amazon delivery arrived. It included a pair of free-standing shelves we ordered to sub in for our pantry while our pantry is cleared out due to a plumbing leak.
Yes, that leak started 8 week ago now. We've left most of our pantry foods stacked up on our dining room table since then. But now we need to clear the table (and other surfaces in the dining room) because Hawk needs the space for nesting while she recovers from foot surgery that's scheduled at the end of this week.
Putting the shelves together was a fun bit of productivity. Now our dining table is mostly cleared off. That's the first step toward building a nesting spot in the dining room. It'll be similar to the last time Hawk build a nesting spot in the dining room... but this time slightly more organized with temporary furniture she can sit up on.
