Time for a Summer brag.
My husband, Summer's most favorite person in the whole world, decided he should get up from his recliner and move around a bit.
He looked for his slippers which weren't where they belong.
All of the sudden I see the lightbulb go on as he remembers that he left them sitting next to his bed.
He looks at Summer and asks her to find his slippers.
She looks where they should be hesitated for a minute and then ran up the stairs to bring them down to him one at a time.
Summer would do anything for him and apparently has taken on the job of wardrobe manager.
They are too sweet together.

Summer and I were surprised to find our usual trailhead gated and locked this morning. Hopefully just a temporary closure.
So what to do?
We discussed our options and decided to check out one of the trails to Humboldt Bay.
Summer is always up for an adventure so we turned around and were off.
There was drizzle, sand, mud and giant puddles.
Summer says we made a good choice.
She is a happy dog who really needs a bath.
Good morning, Mastodon.

Golden lab running through a large mud puddle. She looks happy and her tail and ears are up. Her reflection is on the water and she is splashing water behind her.

Looking at the weather forecast, it seems like summer will be taking a break for the next ten days. From experience, no matter how hot it gets from mid-August onwards, it won't be the same kind of heat as the hot days of July or early August.
In other words, even if it's still far off, I can slightly feel the end of summer approaching.

For #PhotoFriday I picked an #Abstract today: Graceful flight of Gulls over the Pacifics.

Waves crash along the shoreline of Cannon Beach, Oregon, under a soft, blue sky, while gulls flying gracefully, creating motion across the scene. The image captures a sense of movement and tranquility, with blurred lines emphasizing the lively atmosphere.

Our day started with doctor appointments. Not unusual for us.
My husband has so many medical providers it's hard to keep up. He counts on me to help keep track. It seems we missed some required tests. We try.
I had to ask the provider about his prescriptions for ostomy supplies. He was surprised to find out that we haven't been getting regular deliveries from the VA. I didn't want to worry him so I had kept the problem to myself. I stocked up shortly after the election, so we aren't running out yet. I bought them out of pocket because I was wary of tarrifs. Right now, the VA has us on backorder until the end of October.
He was really upset.
I explained again that we will be fine, but he is worried for every other veteran who might have to do without essential supplies.
He was so unsettled I talked him into a short walk and change of scenery.
Summer cheered him up but he still worries. Me too.

It's funny how the smoothest, straightest, easy-to-navigate roads often run through some of the most boring landscapes.

And some of the roughest, most circuitous and rugged ones take us through incredibly beautiful places. Maybe it's because we're moving so much slower that we take time to appreciate our surroundings.

May the puzzle be challenging yet fun, and may the image take you to a quiet, majestic place of timeless beauty.

"The Summer Cottage" ... a fabulous little house not far from where we used to live. I always loved driving by. I'm sure it had lots of good stories to tell!!

I hand-painted this one, digitally, in #CorelPainter from my own photo.
