Well, our escape to the coast Monday afternoon wasn't
quite what we planned, but it
was better than staying in the valley. After looking at two horses on the edge of Lincoln City (I stayed in the truck and spun; you can see it was sunny there), we drove towards the beach itself to find something for supper and watch the sunset. But a wall of cold fog met us, almost obscuring the surf itself, so we sat in the truck and ate, then headed for home. As we moved away from the fog, I could see some sunset colors above the fog, but by the time Rick found a place to pull over, they were mostly gone. Still a pretty view of Devils Lake, though.
So no walking on the beach or sunset over the ocean, but it was nice to escape the heat for at least a little while.
On Tuesday my first-ever Penzeys Spice order arrived, thanks to a heads-up from my sister about a special offer. Love the pin and magnet (and what the company promotes), and the seasonings look yummy. Can't wait until it cools off enough for cooking to be more appealing....
Wednesday morning's sunrise was worth waking early for, and was followed by some clouds that gave welcome morning shade.
Unfortunately, there was work on the lot next to us, too. A caterpillar and tractor droned round and round for hours, sending brown clouds of dust over our fence. My poor horse with his compromised lungs; ugh.
I wasn't around much of the day to be aggravated, though, and the house was closed up against the dust so the heat pump could keep it at 80°. I gave a dressage lesson in the morning, and in the afternoon I met up with Wanda Jenkins and another Jenkins spindle fan for pleasant conversation and iced coffee while spinning. Wanda brought some spindles so I could snag a one for an interested friend . . . and I may have ended up with another one in
my "spindle stable" as well....
When I got home, I made sandwiches for supper from our first big tomatoes, fresh basil leaves, our own eggs, and my homemade bread. They were yummy!
That's it for now from . . .
