Its funny. If its July and the temp hits 43 degrees, you’re freezing your butt off. But if its February 6th and you’ve been pummeled by cold and snow for the past two months, its downright balmy. Today was balmy!
The day started like any other Sunday… get up, shower, drink too much coffee, and take the dogs to the dog park in Norwalk. When Pam and I returned to the boat, the sun was blazing, the sky was blue, and not even the dogs wanted to go inside. So we decided to sit on the foredeck in the warm sunshine (for CT) and celebrate our beautiful day with a beer.
Yep. That would be a beer slushy. Still tasted really good though. The first beer led to a second. I asked Pam what was for lunch, to which she replied “You’re drinking it.” LOL!
The dogs were really enjoying the fresh air as well, and were watching “dog TV”. The wildlife channel was on, and the program was all about Canada Geese, Swans, Seagulls, Hooded Merganzers, and Cormorants.
Ruby, the dark brown dog, had seen this all before. To Chevy, though, this was all new and he watched the waterfowl parade with great interest.
All those bits of carpeting you see on the deck are part of living on a boat in Stamford, Connecticut in winter. They get wet, you put them out in the sunshine to dry, and they get snowed on and spend two months out there. Maybe they’ll dry by tomorrow? Maybe by June!
It ended all too quickly, however. Pam is a vet tech and had to go into work to check on a very, very sick puppy that probably has Parvo and won’t make it through the weekend. It came from a pet store, and so probably from a puppy mill. A sad overtone to an otherwise great day living aboard.
