And it was lovely, as always – though we all agreed that it went by even faster than usual – like we lost 2 days somewhere along the line.

But, so much good food, and reading done, and time outside not thinking about well, anything. 10/10.

AND DOLPHINS!

And this beautiful heron right outside in the creek behind our house:

And somehow I managed to get this white Heron/Ibis/Egret in flight on the sound.

I so love all the wildlife down there – and of course, my beloved turtles.

Just a perfect break.

After a rather white knuckled drive home thanks to rain storms along the coast, I was knackered and the plan this morning was to just sleep until I woke up, so I’d written off the farmers market today.

I woke up at 7:15 AM, HAHAHAHA. And it was raining – but I had to get out for coffee anyway, and have rain jacket and hat, will travel. So we’ve got salad stuff and breads and I consider myself a very hardcore farmers market lady, LOL. (Of course, the rain ended just as I was leaving.)

Hit the grocery store to fill in a few gaps and they had sunflowers, so now I’ve got some sunshine in a vase.

Annoying task for the weekend is to get some new cable/internet equipment installed because ours is ancient and will not be compatible with an upcoming software update, which has been maddening at every turn already.

Fun task is to start looking for new furry friends in earnest – which honestly, is a little…nerve wracking? What if we pick a kitty or kitties that thinks we’re just overly needy loser humans? Not helping is that we have two county shelters now, which is awesome, but also – even though we can see all the kitties online, what if we go to one shelter and somehow miss a kitty that needs us more at the other shelter? (Yeah, that’s my brain for you.)

Just have to remind myself that as much as I want to save every cat there, I can’t – and I don’t have to, because our shelter does an excellent job of getting their wards into homes.

Have a great weekend, and tell your pets I said HI!
