The Pacific is with us

This week will be a humdinger as two new people are starting, an all-time remote person is in town, and a board meeting on the weekend. This means lots of meetings, and everyone at work is a little frazzled. It was foggy and with a chilly ocean breeze. It feels like home again.

The Ospreys were back to visit the office. Like I say, maybe they are nesting nearby. Also, they sure are chatty.

It was braised chicken for dinner with wild rice and kale, plus a salad. Not bad for a Monday.

The bird of the day is a Cave Swallow

Here is a poem for you.

Sending oodles of love,
