Tuesday May 26, 2020 Just Baxter and I and four turkey vultures were visible on the headland this morning. These are the morning walks I really enjoy. We had the headland to ourselves. A lot of people are driven by the weather. Today we have light fog which usually means I’ll get the solitude I …
Memorial Day May 25, 2020 Baxter and I had a lovely walk around the headland this morning. It’s was a beautiful start to the day that was quiet, still and warm. Halfway around the headland I took my windbreaker off, this is T-shirt weather, which is always a blessing. As the day picks up, (yes …

May 22, 2020 Baxter and I were not the only ones who got up early to get our walk in before the tourists (who are obviously in town) hit the trail. Two other local women had the same idea. We seemed to be walking at a similar fast pace so depending on which part of …
Thursday May 21, 2020 Baxter and I added the spur trail on the headland to our walk today to do something extra and to get a better view. It’s just stunning from that vantage point. This morning’s overcast sky caused the ocean to look my favorite shade of greenish blue. The vibe in town feels …
Tuesday May 19, 2020 Because I was consumed yesterday by the 40th anniversary of the MSH eruption, today’s post reflects both Monday and Tuesday’s walks. One involved rain and the later was graced with sunshine. Optimism and gratitude are the words I plan to focus on this week. I’m worn down by all the Covid-19 …
May 18, 2020 Today is the 40th anniversary of the 1980 eruption of Mt. St. Helens (MSH). I have a personal connection to that event. At the time, I was an undergraduate at Oregon State University living in Corvallis, Oregon. The first eruption didn’t really impact Corvallis because the winds pushed it East darkening instead …
Sunday May 17, 2020 I wished I’d asked more questions. After my mother’s death it occurred to me that I never asked enough questions about my family history. I am the descendant of 3 immigrant grandparents with a paternal grandmother whose lineage goes back to the Mayflower. I know little about my mother’s parents and …
Friday May 15, 2020 Happy Friday! Congratulations, we made it thru another week of shelter-in-place. This morning brought forth what looks to be an incredibly beautiful day. The sun is shining and the clouds have parted bringing back blue sky’s and the deep blue colored ocean water. It’s a picture postcard kinda day. A great …
Thursday May 14, 2020 Ok. I confess. We took a break this week because well, I wimped out. I didn’t feel like dealing with the rain. Or call it fallout from Covid-19 anxiety. Take your pick. Both are true. Like most, I’ve had my fill of news and politics. I have to turn it off. …
Monday May 11, 2020 Yesterday was Mother’s Day! A day to relish in our own family accomplishments (be they human children, fur babies, or other extended relationships) and to enjoy memories of our own mothers. Everyone has a mother so the day is one we all share. My day started and ended with my wonderful …
