Last night (in Sebastopol)

Today was a fine working day. It rained all morning, and then in the afternoon the clouds started to break up and we had occasional showers. By the end of the workday, the clouds were off in the distance, and there was blue sky as far as you could see. Got takeout for dinner. Tomorrow evening we are heading home (so excited!). Next week is going to be a humdinger of a work week for me, as I will be working in the office most days late and then on Saturday as well.

We lost an amazing human. Rest in peace.

Favorite quote: "It actually doesn't take much to be considered a difficult woman. That's why there are so many of us." - Jane Goodall, Zoologist, Primatologist, and Anthropologist. Powerful human.

Have a reflective day. See what you can see. Be in touch.

Here is a hopeful article about our local native West Coast oyster, the Olympia
