Up at 4:15 AM to see my brother head off to the airport. I'll be doing the same later this afternoon. Since I was up, I started the day with a walk to take advantage of the pre-dawn coolness (76°F/heat index 83) after yesterday's high of 95°F/heat index 109. Today is forecast to be hotter.
Here's a pre-sunrise view of the lake from the neighborhood beach, just down the street.
Folks who don't live directly on the lake can moor their boats here.
By the time I was back at the house, the sun was up and ready to sizzle!
Did I mention there is no AC is this old house?
Breakfast on the porch:
Fresh fruit, iced coffee and an doughnut from Rulf's Orchard, just down the road. They used to sell them along with fresh pressed cider just during apple season but they now have a year-round bakery and café. Best doughnuts ever and the only ones I'll eat!
