Day 10: Skim coat

Today Steve shaved and drove for the first time in his life without glasses!  On the way home from his follow-up exam in Jamestown this afternoon, we stopped to capture scenes from the sunny winter afternoon.  On Kabob Rd. is the entrance to a Chautauqua County waterway named in honor of Steve's dad, Marden E. Cobb.  For over twenty years, Marden was chairman of the county parks commission. He and Steve often went out to scout properties to purchase.  Luensman Overlook was one they surveyed that the county later added to the system.  When he died in 1991, the canoe trail was dedicated in his honor.  He had a tremendous impact on Steve's love of the outdoors.

Only a thin layer of ice covers the surface of Cassadaga Lake.  A thick band of clouds prevented better shots of the lake, but the sky was far more stunning.  Along Risley Street, I found more milkweed pods with seeds bursting and squirrels scampering along branches.
