Sharon sent these photos a few weeks ago from “our” beach of a nice new addition to the beach landscape We went straight to the beach this morning but, alas, the ocean and beachcombers have had their way with it, underscoring the transient nature of shelter, perhaps?

Dazzling Day #2…
These bright and sunny January days are a gift…we read the paper at coffee time and the rain starts again on Thursday, BUT, for today, we were in the sunshine. Here’s our beautiful Cutler City, the row of dark trees on the other side of Siletz Bay: we walked the beach at Nelscott…well…R walked the […]
…A DAZZLING Day…
Boy and it was. Bright sun, warm-ish, no wind. Bike ride, gardening, beach walk…and best of all the beach was filled with beach wares of the best type…beautiful and free in some of my favorite categories…red rocks, beach glass, agates, shells with holes, heart rocks, little white shell bits: Tonight the winter film festival continues […]
There’s Always a Message…
Sigh. Even though it’s a GOOD message, one does yearn to just be message free…especially at the movies
New Year, New Decade….
Starting both “on the edge”…a twenty year tradition. After the New Year’s Eve revelry at the beach…(we stayed up til 3:00 a.m.!) we had a quiet day today, with a view of the bay: a coffee with Hans’ SUPERIOR foam: a view of the bay from a different vantage point: a stop at the fish […]
Presentation is all…
Every year R goes to the beach for a week before Christmas for his “winter retreat” which includes reading books, taking beach walks, drinking some scotch and…putting together some wacky and wonderful Christmas gifts. His wrappings sometimes include plastic vegetable bags, shells, unidentifiable items that are familiar yet not…boxes, tins, plastic containers. These are imaginative […]
Sweet Miscellany…
At the beach we sort of wander through a day and what happens, well…happens. Today we saw this adorable small building looking like a combo of the old west and Amsterdam (tho destined to be a coffee drive-through I fear), some deers wandering through a neighborhood of homes where nobody lives trimming the wisteria a […]
Eugene Art Day…
We went to Eugene today and took in a lot of regional art from various periods. We visited the Eugene post office to see the 1943 WPA murals painted by Carl Morris (1911-1993). Morris migrated from California to Spokane in 1938 to direct the Spokane WPA Art Center. There he met Northwest School painters Guy […]
Goodbye to August…
And we aren’t really ready to say goodbye…are we? Our last August beach weekend was spent with Doug & Marie, Em and Fin and Fin’s friend Kellen. For me it began in a predictable way with a trip to you-know-where: and we arrived on a gorgeous sunny afternoon: Saturday there were various things going on, […]
A Beautiful Sunday at the Beach
One of those gorgeous sunny days which included chores positioning Karen’s chair to hold up the fuschias a bike ride around Cutler City with a stop at the end of Fleet for a bay view discovery of a job I wouldn’t want to have (and I’m not kidding…the sticker really was on one little tomato…) […]
