Good Afternoon my Friends,
Here is one last picture from my Oregon trip. This is on the northern California coast looking south. It was such a beautiful day. I never get tired of the coast or taking pictures along the way. Remember I have going up & down this road for over 40 years since I moved to California. There is always something to see no matter the season. There is so much beauty provided by Mother Nature. It takes me longer to drive this way but I am a firm believer that you should enjoy the journey as well as the destination. Enough philosophy for today!!
Trudy, I hope the moth balls keep the snakes away also. That gives me chills just thinking about it! I hope you aren't flooded out. I'll check your pictures on Facebook if I can find you!!
Mary, I'm so glad to hear you are no longer having pain in your ankle. What causes gout? I've seen the ads on TV but I'm still not sure. Do you have to take medication to prevent it? Like you, I still like to swing but rarely do anymore! The grand kids are all beyond the age of going to the playground. There are a couple not far from me but I usually just walk through.
Last night I finished my Blaze book then started on a Nora Roberts book I have had sitting on the TBR shelf waiting patiently for me! I like to pick up her books when I can sit to read a good portion of time as I usually get all wrapped up in the story. The print in this one is going to tax my eyes if I read for long periods of time. The Blaze was Caught off Guard by Kira Sinclcair. It was an okay read. Some parts of the book I liked, other parts were so so! I won the book so I feel bad that I am not more enthusiastic. The Nora book is Chasing Fire. More on that when I get done!
Here is a story on myself! I am usually up during the night at least once, twice is not uncommon to make a trip to the bathroom. I function while trying not to wake up much! Last night for some reason I manage to ram my knee into the footboard at the bottom of the bed!! No it has not moved, but I apparently didn't know where I was going. I never turn on lights as there is enough outside light to see & I know the way!! Anyway, it hurt a lot, enough that I said bad words & woke up more than I like. :-) Imagine my surprise this morning to find I hit my knee hard enough to draw blood! Yep! I was totally oblivious to the fact. I am happy to say it did not run down my leg just sort of came to the surface. I cleaned it with peroxide, put a band aid on, called it good. It is more of a scratch than anything.
I woke up early! Couldn't go back to sleep so finally shoved myself up & out into the early morning to go take pictures. Why waste the early morning light!! Anyway I just went up on Healdsburg Ridge & managed to snap away for an hour or so. It was pretty, peaceful, quiet just birds & a couple of other early morning hikers. When I was going back to the car a crew was going up to work on trails and improvements is my guess. I will end this looooong post with a picture from my walk. I did not walk far but enjoyed the excursion. This is Fox Pond with reflections. Pretty, I think.
Have a great day, happy reading,
Donna M
