I Fled The Roofing Noise into the Beauty Not Far from Home
Yes, this is Day 3 of the roofing repairs. They were supposed to have finished, but obviously they haven't. But no more roofing photos today. There are more beautiful subjects. In the morning I mostly mostly did errands -- shopping, and getting gas. I stopped at home to see if maybe it would be quiet enough to eat lunch at home, but it wasn't, so off I went to Touch of Paso. The food was good, but it was much nosier than usual because of an unhappy toddler, so I didn't get the peace I was seeking. Off I went to the Paso Robles Library!

The Library and Home Again
While at the library I checked the new book shelf and decided to check out one of the Express Books (due in seven days). It looked more interesting than the eBook I was reading. I was quite sleepy after that large lunch I ate and needed an author I know could keep me awake until I could go home, but not one that would keep me up late to finish the book. I chose Debbie Macomber's A Girl's Guide to Moving On. It's about a woman and her mother-in-law trying to help each other through divorces from their unfaithful husbands who had broken their hearts. I got the first seven chapters read before 4 pm, the time the roofers usually leave. I went home to see if the coast was clear. It wasn't. This is what I saw. (Sorry. I said no more photos of this.)

On the way home I took the long way to stop and get the mail. Before I got to the mailbox, I stopped to get a photo of one of my favorite oaks that lives near the corner of South River Road and Bridgegate.

The Park, the Sky, and the Trees
Before I got to the mailbox I'd also stopped to snap some other trees that I don't normally see before sundown. When I finally saw the roofers wouldn't be leaving any time soon, I drove over to the park, planning to sit and read some more. However, I was still really sleepy and decided I needed to walk off some of that lunch.

The sky above the park was full of a mixture of fluffy and gray clouds. It was hard to stop snapping them, especially since they were framed with the park's magnificent trees. It's really hard to choose which photos to show you. I'll stick to sky and trees for now and show you the goats and the turkey vultures on another day. They were a surprise and an added bonus.

I wish I could show you this sky as I saw it -- one continuous panorama, changing by the minute as the earth moved.

OK. One Vulture in this last photo.

Even the walk did not cure my drowsiness. Only a complete night's sleep will take care of that. Since I saw that won't be happening tonight, I took a nap when I got home. With all those clouds I'm sure I missed a magnificent sunset, but a girl's got to sleep some time. That will happen after I get this blog posted.
How was your day?
