This morning we got our first real frost of the season. As Baxter and I took our spin around the headland it was 37 degrees. I was armed with a layer of fleece and gloves. Crisp mornings like this are great for clearing your mind and pushing chaos away. I suspect we will all need …
For the second time this week (third time in the last two weeks) we had a morning rainbow. Today’s rainbow even appeared at the same time, 200 miles to the north of us on the Oregon Coast near Coos Bay, Oregon. I am seriously taking this as a sign. Better days are on the horizon! …
As we sit on pins and needles waiting for the election results, today’s walk included a beautiful rainbow and multiple shapes of hearts. I’m taking that as a good sign.
