Yesterday was the first day of fall. Our weather is cooler, especially at night, and I think we are done with the air conditioner until next summer. I celebrated with a big pot of chili. The past few weeks have been mellow. – just doing the days, as usual. Some beach trips… Some local hikes…Continue reading “Around Here – End of Summer”

Summer Days
It’s been hot here. Outdoor time has decreased. The sunsets are pretty though. This was a fun 1000-piecer called, “Piece and Love Marrakesh”. Summer lunch and summer dinner. We did one early morning hike with me sporting my new nonslip hiking sunglasses… …. and we escaped the heat last Thursday night with a beach bonfireContinue reading “Summer Days”

August
August was a long month. We both ended our Covid free status with mild cases. We recovered quickly, but less quickly from the loss of our little Toby Dog. He passed away from an unidentified illness on July 26th. We were given a little cross for the yard in his memory and I am awaitingContinue reading “August”
