Monday, June 1, 2020 This morning’s walk was beautiful. Baxter and I enjoyed a quiet morning on the headland. At this point in time we are all experiencing a lot of external stress.

Friday May 29, 2020 It’s a foggy, balmy morning. All is quiet on my part of the north coast. But this morning’s walk came with an unwelcome surprise.
