Summer understands why we couldn't run down the hill for an adventure this morning. I promised to meet my daughter to shop at Costco. Sunrise is so late we don't have enough time to get everything done before I have to leave for town and still get an early walk.
I know my daughter is feeling the same anxiety that I feel around the price of food. I think for a minute that I don't have answers but realize that I do.
We carry on.
Been here before.
I will spend the time to cook and bake things we can share.
Helping our neighbors will be a challenge we tackle together too.
We made a list of items to buy today to stock up a local program called The Raven Project. This place is a safe destination for LBGTQ youth. They host music and art activities as well as a queer coffee shop. Buying lots of protein bars and personal care items. Coffee too.
Summer approves of this message.
Good morning, Mastodon.

STELLA was at the cabin this morning with her human, the owner's handyperson, here to cut grass and trim back trees from the power lines.
THE sweetest pup! ❤️

Even though it was cold with a heavy drizzle Summer and I skipped our way to the beach early, early this morning.
Fun was had.

Ever get that feeling you're supposed to do something? Me neither.

Here is a basket full of puppies to get you through Monday. #dogsofmastodon #servicedogs
Summer wishes she lived in Canada.
I told her that we can only wish because we are too old to immigrate anywhere. We are fortunate to be in a blue state at least.
I am embarrassed and horrified at the stupidity of the orange demagogue ruining our country and renaming stuff.
The rest of our beach time we skipped around in the sand thanking our lucky stars for the gift of being together on this wild and beautiful shore even for an hour.
Love you all

This puppy appears to have a snort language. He doesn't randomly snort. He snorts to communicate things: interest, frustration, tiredness. I've never had a dog do this. It's both hilarious and impressive. #DogsOfMastodon
Good morning Mastodon!
Our plan was to get up early and head to the beach.
The 4:30 am earthquake made me rethink. In case it was a precursor to a larger quake I didn't want to be on the beach miles from my car. You probably don't know this about me but I don't run very fast anymore.
So here we are entertaining ourselves in our cozy reasonably earthquake safe house.
Summer decided to retrieve the balls up and down the stairs for awhile. When she decided she was done she told me that Tennessee had commandeered the ball.
I gave her the side eye but left them to play while I went off to make coffee.

We slept more than eight hours last night.
All three of us.
Woke up to much needed rain.
I zoomed to Summer's vet office to buy more prescription food. Now that we know she will eat the canned food she is stuck with it. The vet wants her to stay on this diet for at least a week.
She seems to be feeling much better.
Tail wagging is happening.
Because it's stormy outside we discussed our entertainment options and decided on some playing on the stairs antics.
I am relieved to see Summer acting like her happy self.
Good morning, Mastodon.

His little lip smackies make me grin every time. Sound up. #dogsofmastodon #dogstodon #germanwirehairedpointer
DAISY and her human, Dave, were sitting in their pickup outside the Cooper's Creek General Store this morning.
Yesterday was interesting.
We had to get back in the swing of boiling water and avoiding the dirtying of dishes because it's a pain to wash them.
We ended up having peanut butter and jam sandwiches for my birthday dinner. After the water is sorted we will reschedule our family get together.
Summer and I decided to skip our beach adventure this morning as a holiday weekend usually brings out more people and dogs than we want to encounter.
I got up early and boiled gallons of water, added a touch of bleach, so we could be prepared to cook a decent breakfast and clean up.
Blueberry pancakes for us and prescription food for Summer with chicken and rice added.
Summer definitely seems to be feeling well again.
I am so thankful that we have a huge supply of bottled water. We will need it over the next ten days or so.
Good morning, Mastodon.

I took this picture of Summer early this morning.
She was sitting on her perch.
The highest point on our property.
My husband cleared a flat to build the house fifty years ago. He pushed the dirt towards the road and left the pile there because he liked the privacy it provided.
Later we added a fence to keep out our wandering, famous artist neighbor, who shamelessly helped himself to most of my flowers every day as he let his dogs poop on our grass. When asking him nicely to stop didn't work we built a fence.
Now Summer thinks she is the queen of all that she sees. I keep telling her that she doesn't rule the neighborhood to no avail. She still barks at the artist as he walks by.
When I looked at this photo and she looked like she was glowing I started to wonder if she's right and I'm wrong.
Happy Wednesday Mastodon friends.
