It’s raining. I’ve done all my chores. Got my steps in. Did a little senior strength training. Prepped the green stuff for dinner so I can have one more home-grown green risotto. Picked apples. Time for tea and knitting and gruesome murders. Love these colors 🩵💙💚💜💙🩶

Caithness cabin comes with sea views, artisan pizza delivered to the door, and the best WiFi I’ve seen in three weeks.

The problem with traveling in May…I’m going to miss peonies, iris, the first rose on the new plant, clematis 🙁 On the other hand, puffins!

Never fails to amaze me that I can do 3 weeks in Europe with half the luggage I need for 3 days in Texas.

Reread The Foundation Trilogy this week. Wow. First named female character appears on pg 180 and is a howling stereotype. I loved these books so much as a kid. How?? What a failure of imagination on Asimov's part. #booksky

Thanks to a recommendation from Barbara Kingsolver, I read this this week. Just what I needed this week. A journey, a struggle, women finding their power, a good end. Thanks, Barbara and Rachel.

If you see this, and you're in the mood for this kind of thing, quote post with a beach photo from your gallery.

More rain than expected but also rainbows #oregoncoast #cloudscape #rainbow

Saturday and today #oregoncoast #raincoming

Urchins and sea stars at the tide pools today. The urchins were a little shy. #yaquinahead

Yes it was a particularly nice day today, chilly but not cold, no wind, and every shade of blue. #oregoncoast

And then it went from black and white to Kodachrome

Yesterday. Today I pulled weeds, pruned bushes, tied up vines, etc. etc. Satisfying but not photogenic.

Halftime in a cold(ish), rainy day so…second breakfast. Egg from Katrina’s chickens, limpa bread from Pacific Sourdough in Waldport, marionberry jam from E-Z Orchards in Keizer.

A break in the rain
