Life Amongst the Landscape, Unexpected Inspiration, Life as Art, Travel and More
It’s a spectacular Monday morning on the north coast which is timely because after celebrating my birthday last week, I need to burn off the scrumptious cream cheese frosted carrot cake I’ve been eating. That’s the dilemma with having a cake in the house when you are empty nesters. It used to be that our …

Every once in awhile life brings you something exceptional. Tonight it was such a treat to hear Howdy Emerson play The Rowantree on his bagpipes at the top of Trinidad Head while the sun began to set. A definite, wish you were here kinda moment. One I’ll never forget. Especially the Happy Birthday tune Howdy …

As the pandemic continues to drag on I think we can all use some inspiration. I suggest turning to nature. We are on the cusp of a seasonal change. On the west coast the spring explosion of budding plants has started. I am always in awe by this development. I find it quite miraculous; the …
Baxter and I got up and onto the trail early to beat the crowds. It’s a beautiful sunny weekend which translates into lots of visitors. Most weekends we retreat to the comfort of our own backyard rather than hang at the beach with the weekend crowd. It’s a pandemic precaution but also because if you …
Baxter and I used our “insurance policy” on our walk today. Often when he wears his blue raincoat we beat the rain and today was one of those mornings. A quick spin around the headland and some time afterwards, beach combing on Launcher Beach. A great way to start the day and launch the weekend. …

We received some heavy hail last night that stuck around for parts of this morning. The day started with some very chilly temperatures for our coastline; 36 degrees that felt more like 30 degrees. The back deck at our house was a sheet of ice. I realize for my friends living east of the Mississippi …
The show stopper for this morning’s walk was the amazing skyline and cloud cover we had. The initial blue sky morphed into quite a display while Baxter and I were out walking. There is a whole lotta change going on in our world and today’s skyline seemed to mimic all that energy. It’s been an …
