Blue skies!

Today was a glorious day. We slept in, and then I headed down to the farmers' market for a few things. I was late, so it was crowded with people; however, no one was buying anything but simply wandering around. I got some oysters for good luck. It still amazes me how magically good I feel instantly when I eat them. It's like I get a cellular lift. The rest of the day consisted of domestic tasks, including cooking and cleaning. We managed to get in a few walks, and the warm sun felt good, as the air was chillier than recently with the cloud cover.

It still amazes me that wildlife overpasses and tunnels work! Here is some great news.

I've decided that we humans need to disprove the economists. Here is a little evidence.

Their rhythmic walking could be heard from a couple of blocks away! City love.
Brown Pelicans (Pelecanus occidentalis) 
Our ferries just aren't as cute as those in Portland, ME
54.6% Waxing Gibbous
Dead-end alley that the birds love.
Windows into other worlds
Glamour shot.
Jupiter and its moons. Maybe Io, Europa, and Callisto? See for yourself.

Have a splendid day and enjoy these last few days of 2025. What was most memorable in 2025 for you?

Here is a poem for you.

Sunrise: 7:24 | Sunset 4:59

Sending oodles of love,
