Walking on the beach near Kalaloch one misty morning, I was charmed by these random small shards of wet driftwood on the sand. Olympic NP WA 1/3

He's totally destroying the furniture, but at least he's being cute while he's at it.

Our elusive little Anna's hummingbird zooming in for some breakfast. She's wintering over here again, but luckily for her it hasn't been very cold this year.

Here's our first crocus of the new year, bravely poking up through the frost. I don't care what any groundhog says; this flower says Spring is coming.

Our boy Louie's a year old today, at least according to the estimated birth date he was given at the shelter. He's at 64 lbs now, turning into a big barrel-chested bruiser. He's grown up so much since his gotcha day 10 months ago.

Louie has zero knowledge of what's happening in the world, and he's perfectly fine with that. I'm kind of jealous actually...
Good night Blue Sky,,,

Helpful quote from Google's AI:
'Watching yourself on TV often produces a mix of surreal, cringe-worthy, and insightful emotions, acting as a powerful tool for self-analysis to identify, observe, and correct habits like filler words, posture, and body language.'

This was yesterday afternoon's vibe, with Lou napping in my lap while I read. I just love this little guy, he can be such a sweet pup sometimes.

Comfort Food Post #2: When it's cold and dank outside, there's nothing quite like soup. Last night's dinner was Gumbo, with side salad, French bread and an old-vine Zinfandel, mm mm so good.

I turned my back on him for one minute. That's all the time Louie needs to roll up this 6' circular rug, drag it over to the ottoman, and chew on the edge. Such a brat- he's done this a bunch of times, and always chews on the same spot... 🤬

Happy Sunday folks, here's Louie with his feet crossed, oh-so-casually destroying what used to be a nice sofa.

Here's my first food post... This cold blustery day demanded that I make some comfort food: French onion soup, toasted French bread with melted Gruyere cheese, a nice mixed salad, a charcuterie appetizer selection, and a lovely Zinfandel wine. Mm mm, so good.
