The cold ocean

Back in January - the 20th (our 17th anniversary, actually), I went to Morro Bay to see if there were big waves.  It was when we were having our big winter storm.

When it's really cold, and the wind is blowing really hard in your face from the ocean, and it looks like this:

 

It's time to look for cover.  2 minutes later, I was drenched from driving rain and sleet.

But 8 minutes after these, it looked like this:

 

 


November Spiders

I like spiders. They are my allies in the fight against the insect invaders. We have had a few Black Widows (not my favorites) this year. But pictured below are some nice Orb Weavers that have taken up residence around the house.

Lizard Invasion

We have had a bumper crop of lizards, this year.  I really enjoy seeing them in the yard.  We seemed to have one living under our mailbox for a while.

The lizard is at the top of the picture. My toes are at the bottom.

If you look carefully, you can see Ellyn & I hiding behind the sunflowers.

It's amazing to me that they grow to be taller than I am in just a few months.

More Sunflowers!

 No, we're not anticipating a zombie invasion, but they certainly make me happy.


Speaking of Firsts

We (mostly Ellyn) planted a bunch of Sunflowers in front of our house.  I'm so excited!  The first little one has finally bloomed:

Ellyn & I went to the Montana de Oro State park with Mark & Yvette. It's about 15 miles away.
