It was a lovely few days of nature escapes and amazing weather. I needed it so much. Spent all day at the beach with a fancy bottle of chardonnay and good snacks. An almost perfect day except for the seagull's shit bomb that landed partly on my arm. Luckily I always carry sanitizer and tissues and a sense of humor.
The next day was a full day in the forest with a couple stops at a forest farmers market with live music that went on until after dark. Saw lots of animals. A coyote walked toward my car. Lots of deer and lizards and dragonflies and egrets too. We stayed out as long as possible, savoring as much outdoors as possible.
Sooo grateful for this little heat wave. Felt great. Now I'm content and a little worn out from all the hiking and sweating and driving, laying in bed, reviewing the photos and videos. Back to crosswords and dance videos and indoor chores for the next several days.
