After months in the desert, one feels….dusty. So…..
Shiloh gets a bath….
And the next day Joy gets a bath.
Too hard on my achy joints to bathe them both on the same day.
Much as they love jumping into any body of wild water, baths are barely tolerated, but getting dried off is loads of fun.
Then a few days later, Wandering Spirit gets a bath too.
After the washing a couple days later she gets a wax job…except for the top. Right now my knees aren’t letting me go up and down the ladder multiple times like waxing the top would require.
Joy next to WS as if we were still camping. This was taken while everyone was still dusty.
And then I bought this great big tarp and Mary helped me cover WS to protect her from sun damage.
😕. Not all that attractive is it? By releasing a bungee cord or two I have easy access to the inside so I can clean and whatnot.
After and between the bathing and waxing, I’m working on a little garden in Mary’s front yard, and some potted herbs in her back yard. This is a work in progress, something I’ll be playing with throughout the summer.
California is in bloom right now…..
A field of wild mustard.
Gardens everywhere.
This is called Breath Of Heaven. A favorite of mine. I planted one in Mary’s garden.
Heading towards ocean and sky…a view from Imjin Road in Marina.
A view of a small bit of Monterey Bay driving on Hwy 101 through Sand City.
Yes, I do love it here!
And what a beautiful place to be and call home….I could hear you exhale all the way across the country. Enjoy and I know you will.
Hi Ruby, yes that big wind you just had was me exhaling 😁.
It’s a beautiful place for sure.
I want to buy a house there!
Yes Laura, why don’t you buy (me) a house. 😊.
Including 2 little letter in that phrase makes such a difference! 😜
So glad you are getting to stay in a place you love so much! Nice to see the dogs relaxed to (even with the bath thing).
Hi Dawn. I think we all needed some stability. I still have no idea what’s next. For one who is always planning ahead, that feels weird. Maybe it will help me live “in the moment” more.
What a beautiful place and such a lovely garden!! You definitely have a “green thumb!!”
Thanks Gerri. Where I used to live I had gardens and a little green house, which I very much enjoyed. I’ve missed that.
Welcome back 😘.
Hi Carol. Thank you! 😘
Can see why you love it there. The picture of the beautiful blue of the Bay is enough to suck me in!! Got a chuckle out of Joy laying by WS. Enjoy every bit of your stay, however long that may be.
