On the beach.

We made a day trip to Pinery Provincial Park on Boxing Day. The weather was blessedly quite benign for late December, so we strolled on the beach. An earlier visitor built this structure out of driftwood they obviously found.

Skittered.

A Dark-eyed Junco skittered across a porch step after a recent snowfall.

I want to thank you, my dear readers, for visiting my blog. I also want to wish you merry Christmas, joyous Kwanzaa, hope you have had a happy Hanukkah, Happy Holidays, an excellent solstice, and a healthy, prosperous 2022.

What a talented girl.

Lucy will occasionally try to pick up two things. Here, with ball in mouth, she tries to pick up a Kong/rope toy.

She succeeded. Of course it was too quick to capture with the camera. What a talented girl.

Harvest.

We spent time shelling beans on a delightful November afternoon. Not much yield by volume – perhaps two cups – and certainly not enough to be self sufficient. Yet, we grew them.

Favourite place.

And Lucy curled up in a favourite place – on the couch.

Curl uppy puppy.

We boarded Fitzi and Lucy at the kennel while we were away. After bailing them out and bringing them home, they had running-jumping-and-playing time in the backyard.

After that fun time, Fitzi curled up in a favourite place – on a comfy bed in the laundry room.

A glorious October morning.

A meal fit for a previously Texan.

Faye and I paid a visit to Traylor Parker’s Real Texas BBQ. I had the Smoked Brisket Sandwich with Potato Salad and McCaunaghey’s (vinegar) Cole Slaw. Faye had the Smoked Turkey with Cornbread Stuffing Sandwich with Baked Beans and Creamy Cole Slaw and a side of Cranberry Compote.

Everything tasted much better than it may look. We will be back.

Glorious.

Though I was at work and about to get very busy, I had to stop and savour this glorious October sunrise.

It’s good to be alive.
