On Deck...

Not an alarm like: All hands on deck!

The weather weasels were predicting thunderstorms for last night and this morning.  Didn't happen.  It was windy, with north winds in the 20s, and cloudy.  A good morning for lounging.

We all have different routines when we're home... as shown by our boating and dolphin watching.  Izzy seems to prefer staying inside when she's home.  She has a tower by a large window looking out towards the canal, where she can keep an eye on things.  But, she has no interest in walks on the leash when we're home.  To make sure she gets some outdoor time, we let her out on the deck when we can be out there with her.

The frontal passage moved on through by noon, leaving behind sunshine, clear blue sky, a north wind in the low teens, and temps in the low 70s... a refreshing cool change (Hey, that would make a good boat name!).  Little Izzy let me know she wanted to go outside...

I sat out there with her, taking in the lovely cool afternoon.

She did hop down from the chair and walk around a bit; even contemplated how to circumvent the "kitty gate" on the steps down from the deck...

Can't say I blame her - it is lovely out there.  I think I am at least partially responsible for that: I put the cover on the boat last night, in anticipation of the predicted thunderstorms...

Yep, blue sky and sunshine.
