FireNight

What do you do while you wait? I used to frantically clean everything and purge and Goodwill LOVED it. Now, I amble. I daydream. I might clean the bedroom or straighten or dust or even, like today, get pretty ambitious and work in the yard. But then, who didn't work in their yard today since it was almost 50 degrees and somewhat sunny?

So if I post a picture or two of places that generate amble-ness (ambleability?) will you understand?
This pic is of an old homestead fireplace that is so beautiful and so sad, all at once. Purely Oregon moss covered, but does it make you wonder what the house looked like and what the people were like who lived there? does me.

And then this charming stone house on OtterCrest~ now who would not love to live on a point overlooking crashing waves? This sturdy house sits on a sturdier cliff. I love the symbolism here - you cannot move me! Bring on the storms of life! Neener neener!

But today, we haven't thrown our cares to the wind nor dared the surf or sea or winds. Today, we cleaned up a bit in the backyard, started a fire in the firepit, barbecued rockfish (okay so we may have had our moment of vengeance on the sea since we did eat fish) and we lit the sparkly lights under the patio cover.  And all three of us noted that we were having a moment of pure satisfaction.

This is remarkable. Three individuals individually happy simultaneously at once even! LOL Good day. Great dinner. Good life.

Thank you.
