A Surprise Day...

Morning dawned...

Clear and colorful...Chris and Huck invited me to drive to the beach...

To Huck's delight...
We parked by a big digger...

Before he took his Mom for a walk...
On the Gearhart beach...

And we watched the seagulls fly...

A delightful day!!!

Warmth...

We bought a couple cords of wood...And spent the afternoon sorting and stacking it...
A pleasing sight...
A couple hours of warmth...
Promising...
Many more!!

Full Worm Moon...

Sets as the day dawns...At the time of this spring moon, the ground begins to soften and earthworm casts begin to reappear, inviting the return of robins.
This frosty morning, one lone earthworm proves it true...
as the sun rises and warms my path.

Marvelous!
