A Rainy Day Equals Crab for Dinner, Good Wine, and a Fire in the Fireplace

I have to say this "rain" is more like drizzle and can't have added very much to the reservoirs. And it's over tonight, with nothing but dry, sunny weather in the forecast. But it's a great night to celebrate with friends: a comfy fire in the fireplace, crab dinner, Robert Rue Sauvignon Blanc (and you thought Robert Rue only made Zin), and Judy Collins Singing Dylan to remind us of what great songwriting sounds like. The dogs are oh so very bored, waiting for company to arrive and then they will be a nuisance, at least for a while.

Trash Tiger

Hiked today through the forest and along the Russian River with the pups and thought I would give credit to my wonderful, talented neighbor who created Trash Tiger to protect our local forest from litterbugs. If you can't make out the text, it says:

Trash Tiger, Oh Fierce Protector. Feel free to borrow packs and return with any trash for pickup. The creatures thank you!

This is all done in ceramics. Many thanks, oh fierce protector--you know who you are.

Summer in Guerneville

Just can't believe this day. Planted my vegetable garden wearing a t-shirt, the sun was so hot my old hen moved into the shade, and Cleo was panting after chasing the ball for twenty minutes. And the koi are eating like it's the middle of July. I know we need rain, but can't help but love these beautiful days. A hike tomorrow?

Beachy Art

Down at the beach on this warm, sunny day (looking at 70's this weekend) and saw this effort to turn branches, broken glass, and a broken plate into art. Well, it's better than the glass lying around on the beach.

Has Spring Arrived at the River?

Sitting in the sun this morning in a t-shirt, watching my old hen Patsy peck for bugs, enjoying the Narcissus in full bloom. Feels like spring to me, but surely that can't be.
Then went to the Sunday matinee of the play "Sylvia" by Pegasus Theater at their remodeled 55-seat theater in Rio Nido Lodge. A must-see for all dog lovers. I laughed and laughed, then cried at the end. Great play, great performances, loved every minute of it.
