What a Country

Susan and I had an excellent Independence Day!

We started by not starting. We slept in until 9. That was great!

Then we had a delicious breakfast on the front porch with coffee and mamosas and lots of cheese eggs.

We have some friends coming to stay for a couple of days so Susan had to finish her scrub down of the house. I went to work outside and did some work on the deck. I finished the decorative railing. The picture on the left is the railing that was already there. The picture on the right is of the work I did. I had to make two of those and they came out okay. Not great, just okay. They'll look better after they're painted.

About 3:00 and 98 degrees, we went out to the Little Spokane River and floated. It was just absolutely perfect. There were a lot of people floating the river but we were all spaced out and therefore, we felt like we were all alone.

Until we met this guy.

We floated by quietly and as far away as possible but he didn't seem interested in us at all.

There was a lot of wildlife activity on the river. Along with the usual ducks and geese, we saw two beavers, some muskrats, and a Partridege in a Pear Tree. Oh, and a Moose.
