Manzanita in the mist
A foggy, drizzly morning on the water. It is surprisingly peaceful to be out there - more light than in the woods on a hike, and calm water. We had the right clothes on for a little excursion so we were just fine. Then off to get windshield wipers for the truck. It hasn't rained here in more than 50 days! Such a beautiful morning with my buddy. He really enjoyed bringing his canoe along and letting it float alongside us. He learned to keep the bow up out of the water so it didn't capsize. We found an underwater spring at the end of the creek (entrance to the bay) so that was fun to watch bubble up. And the leaves floating on the water looked so relaxed. I can't believe I managed to get that huge SUP off the truck, in the water, then back on the truck. I did a couple huge fist-pumps when everything was stowed away again successfully! I think we're ready for a NW fall... In other news, I had a London Fog latte today and it was really great - never had one of those before (Earl Grey tea latte). And Sam would like me to record his best times on solving a 3x3 (2 min 06 sec) and a 5x5 (12 min 54 sec).
Love those pictures. It sure looks cold though. A far cry from Hwaii. 50 days without rain is amazing! I do love Washington. It is so beautiful. Glad you didn’t capsize. That would have been a different story uh? Tell Sam he is pretty awesome. I’m so impressed. I was never able to solve more than 2 sides!
Tam – I am lucky to get one side! Two is stellar! Speaking of stellar – tonight I remembered something funny. Sam was talking last week with Dave over dinner about stars. I wasn’t paying attention – Ben was saying something to me I’m sure. Anyway, I tuned in when I heard Sam say something about “Serious B” – and I go – “Who is Serious B? And why do YOU know about him?” to both Dave and Sam. Dave almost spit out his peas – “Sirius B?! It’s a white dwarf.” I almost cried laughing.
hi you guys – I saw some Manzanita (aka “iron wood”)on New Mexico trip. What is the significance of Manzanita in the mist? I’m impressed with stars and the cube activties!!!
Looking forward to seeing you all.
Love and hugs to all.
Hi Pops! It’s just Manzanita Bay – sorry! I should have said so! Just left you a long email reply. We can’t wait to see you, too! Love,
me
