jesse_the_kI celebrated my 65th birthday with a boat ride! Thanks to Fayth Kail and other polio warriors, the Madison School-Community Recreation service has three wheelchair accessible pontoon boats. Cloudy and breezy and fresh! We’d hoped to fill a boat with lots of pals, but were limited to just six people.
MyGuy gave me the perfect present -- thanks to the strings fore and aft, my new hat stays on even when traveling 15 knots on a windy day.
White woman seated in power wheelchair on pontoon boat deck on Lake Mendota, Dane Co., Wisconsin. Orange lap blanket, red gloves, pink shirt, orange neck gaiter, fabulous new Tilley hat, dark glasses and probably-not-truly-required N95 mask.
Close up of Dusty lavender cotton hiking hat with wide brim (even wider in front) and narrow band of mesh ventilation in "attic" at the top of the crown.
Picture taken overhead at 6 pm 7 Sept 2020 from the center of Lake Mendota. The pale blue sky hosts cirrocumulus (?) clouds at various levels. Hints of sunset in pale orange above the hills of Middleton Wisconsin. Feel free to use it as a computer/phone desktop!

There's a reason my cloud name has a question mark — cirrostratus sounds good to me.
May your food be savory and delicious!
