We played hand and foot last night and the girls won! Yay!
This morning Russ went for his long run - 10 miles. The rest of us had a leisurely breakfast. Dave noticed that there were underwater lights in the canal below our balcony that attracted the fish. There were some sizable ones that swam into view. When Russ returned, he had breakfast and showered. We drove into town to browse the small craft fair (see the only non-bird pic) set up there and then headed out to Celery Fields to watch the birds. We saw a least bittern, a Nanday parakeet, blue winged teals, both white and glossy ibis, American, snowy and cattle egrets, great blue, little blue, green and tricolored herons, painted buntings (although I only saw the female as I was watching the staff check the purple martin houses for signs of nesting), grackles, boat tails, cardinals, brown-headed cow bird, red-winged black birds, common and purple gallinules and a pair of sand hill cranes. We came back for lunch and Russ, Cathie and I walked the beach while Dave took a nap. The weather was 67 and overcast again today, but there were a few people in beach chairs bundled in their sweatshirts. We will wait for a sunnier day to go to the beach. I am making dinner tonight - meatloaf, mac and cheese, and salad. Tomorrow we will order out again.
