Wanna make someone happy? Take your dog or the neighbors dog for a walk. They will love you for it! Baxter was overjoyed this morning when he realized he was getting to go on today’s walk. Due to various circumstances he was excluded from my walks for the last four days. To an enthusiastic walking …
Coming back up the hill after our walk on the headland, I casually looked around and saw the following license plates: Alaska, Washington, Oregon, California, Texas, Virginia, New York. There is no doubt that the summer tourism season has begun. For better or worse, they’re here…. We live in a sleepy little hamlet (technically a …
Baxter and I had another quiet walk (and return home) on Trinidad Head this morning followed by a little time on Launcher Beach. We encountered only one person at the start and two at the end of our headland walk. Yes, we are spoiled and loving it! Very grateful for the opportunity. Today also brought …
If the last few weeks are any indication of how our summer will go, we maybe in for a nice one. That is, as long as the fire season is kept to a minimum. The scary part is that there are a lot of brown landscapes just to the south of us already. Summer has …

In the span of eight weeks, my husband had a kidney transplant, our son donated a kidney to help facilitate his father …
This morning’s walk was back on Trinidad Head and to my surprise the trillium have finally started to bloom! Multiple new sprouts have also broken thru the surface and started to mature. I am so relieved that they are all still there. For a few weeks I worried that mischievous behavior had befallen them. As …
We had some serious wind last night that to a lesser extent continues today. As a result a tree was down on the headland loop. Baxter and I skirted by the tree on foot but a motorized vehicle would be blocked. My neighbor saw us return and the response I got was, “you walked in …
