Life Amongst the Landscape, Unexpected Inspiration, Life as Art, Travel and More
Baxter and I got out early this morning with time for a 3.5 mile walk. It felt great to get in a longer walk. During the work week, because of the time crunch, I usually pair my daily walk down to a 1.25 mile loop “around the block.” Both Bax and I have been longing …
After jumping in with both feet this past month in my new leadership role, I looked forward to staying home this Memorial Day weekend and taking some time to reflect. My husband and I have been talking about how glad we were to be born in the era we were. I’m not glossing over history; …

I grew up seeing the television commercials featuring celebrity athletes on Wheaties cereal boxes. Those commercials and their corresponding cereal boxes inspired multiple generations of children. Wheaties, the breakfast of champions is now 100 years old. I liked the marketing pitch and the cereal but as far as breakfast goes, I prefer eggs and high …

We are having glorious weather on the Northcoast this week. Maybe that will bode well for the fishermen/women who are braving the high seas to bring in fresh Dungeness Crab.

This morning’s sunrise was gorgeous. From the vantage point of our backyard, I saw a sky filled with an orange glow. I didn’t make it out early enough to capture it in pics, but Baxter and I did take our usual spin around Trinidad Head underneath a very beautiful and dramatic sky. We are currently …
I’ve been spending a lot of time this past week sitting and listening rather than getting out and moving. Civic duty called and the schedule has not been conducive to morning walks so Baxter and I have been out of our normal routine. (Hence the Sunday walk in the storm.) My body has let me …
By watching the weather forecast one could have easily planned to get out early this morning or wait to walk in the early afternoon between the storm squalls. Not the case with me; I did keep an eye on the forecast but purposely slept in. Because I prefer to walk in the morning, Baxter and …
We are on the cusp of our annual storm season and the skies on this morning’s walk are a beautiful testimony to what’s coming our way. Starting tomorrow, the weather forecast shows a solid week+ of rain and the Marine forecast is that the surf will shoot up to 10 ft. Significant and dangerous in …
Baxter and I took our morning spin around the headland and entered into a somewhat animated environment. Our weather quickly shifted from fog to sun and then later to cold afternoon rain. The sky this morning was quite dramatic and is reflected in my pics. Fall is here with wild abandon and even the animals …
