The outside temperature is 35 degrees. It is very moist out – it rained earlier. We see water; this time it is fresh!
Yes, we are in Lake Arrowhead sitting in Partaker Cottage. The heat is on ( a toasty 58 and it has been on for about 4 hours), there is a fire in the fireplace, music from the forties is playing, and I am about to start a slow roasted pot roast! Won’t that smell good?
As I check the weather for Fort Lauderdale, it is now 79 degrees, and it is after 5 pm there. As you may imagine, we are dressed a little differently. I love it. I have on one of my hand knit sweaters (a cozy wool alpaca in green), jeans and wool socks with my clogs. This is a far cry from the shorts, tees and boat shows that have been the norm for weeks. Soon enough we shall be returning to Florida and the adventure shall continue.
I am looking forward to it. I am surprised by how busy we have been since being home. Coming to the cabin is perfect. It is small like the boat, I don’t lose Kelley like I can at home (Honey? Honey? Where are you?) I am thinking that small is good. And, we don’t have “things” that have to be done.
So, we will visit Partaker for a couple of days; head home; complete a few more chores; out to the desert. And then, before we know it, it will be time to fly East! We hope to see YOU ALL!
We have come up to Lake Arrowhead for a few days. The weather is quite different here than in Florida. (There really isn’t any snow here, but I forgot the camera!) When we arrived the outside temperature was 25 degrees…inside Partaker Cottage was 37! This is the temperature that we leave the thermostat at when we leave. We turned the heater – not forced air – up to 68 and went off to lunch. By 6 pm it was 57 inside. But then that is what sweaters are for.
