You may remember we recently lost our old dogwood tree…but my birthday present was the planting of a new tree!!! Here’s the old tree… …and the white flag marking the spot where the new tree was to go… OF COURSE there was a problem…the boxwood hedge… which Felix said would have to go…we said nope. […]

FOR SALE
Okay…our little enclave at the beach is just so…well…adorable. Especially our street, Ebb Street… which includes our house, Mary Lou and Alan’s, Terry and LuAnn’s, Wee Packum Inn, Jim & Carol’s and nearby David and Susan, and Sharon… we’re just around the corner from Josephine Young Park which is right on the Bay… In the […]
Totally Unnecessary….
and bordering on the criminal. Soapbox time…it’s hard to imagine the subdivision that will look good here…here in Road’s End, Oregon… Even the meanest dwelling (sorry neighbor) looks better when softened with a mature tree nearby…. I was about to write “enough said,” but actually, there could never be enough said about the hideous practice […]
13 Hats at 12 X 16
It was a beautiful day for looking at art today (…and what day WOULDN”T be a beautiful day for looking at art???) so we jumped into the car and headed to the artist’s reception at 12 x 16 Gallery. The show there this month is by a collaborative group called “13 Hats”(…but really there are […]

Carwash Fun…
The other day Kate told me that if I paid for the most EXPENSIVE wash I could get some colored soap…so we checked it out. It started like the usual car wash… with my favorite elements… and THEN…woohoo… Dorothy (our GPS) was speechless… then the rinse… and we were shoved out the back…FUN!!!! So VISUALLY […]
Stamina-building, Day 4
That’s really what this week is about…starting to walk, and building stamina…but in the most fun possible way. Today’s “work” began with a sunny-day breakfast with some artist friends, including Violet, who got right to work with crayons… and then getting the quilt (for the soon-to-arrive Seattle baby) safely into his grandmother’s hands… After lunch […]
The Beautiful Inversion
Most days we go out for a drive-through coffee…and some days we take a little drive-about. This week we’re having an “inversion” where fog and smog blanket our valley, blocking out the sun and casting a weird spell across the land…gray, slightly depressing, but oddly compelling…
