Family Mellmann

It has been such a beautiful day.  Patrick got to ride his motorcycle, Joerg got to service one of his, and we wrapped up some yard work before the more winter-like weather makes its permanent appearance on River Cove Road.  By the afternoon, everyone had found their own way to enjoy the wonderful weather. Katherine read on the deck, even as the sun began to set. Joerg worked on his motorcycle, repairing the damage that resulted from his fall in October. I sat in my favorite chair and researched how to rid my yard and garden of moles. :( Patrick and fellow musician and ballroom dancer, Jennifer, did music stuff in the music room.  Later they will go to ballroom dance class. And Katherine is still sitting on the deck reading.  She needed some light, and a blanket, but she still hasn't come in.  (It's interesting to see what she does when you force her out of her room and take away her screen time.)

It's a gorgeous day for a motorcycle ride. However, with Jörg still out of commission from his spill last month and Patrick not yet licensed to go out on the open road (yet), we are restricted to closed circuit riding for Patrick while I look on from a comfy bench on the sidelines.
