Mmmhmm, these look and sound really yummie. I love any kind of patties 😍

You're a seagull stalker! 😱 😻 I have a similar seaquence of seagull photos made into a blogpost quite a long time ago. The ingenuity of nature e.g. dropping the shellfish from those heights to crack

Awww, what a fun video. Even I, from very far away, felt Skipper's curiosity and joy of playing with this new ball. The way he jumps and bounces around pawing it ever so slightly is so cute, especially

That wet berth still sounds quite fascinating. I'm sure when the time comes you'll be sharing a pic or two, right? How was the house? I looked at the listing and it looked nice and really huge.

Isn't it like a fixed date that the challenge starts? Or did I misunderstand that? In any case, sadly, I totally suck at any kind of daily challenges but I might do something mixed media again.

I always feel the need to clear up my art table before starting a really new project. Might, of course, have to do with the fact that I like switching up media. If I stay in the same media it is fine to

I used to love making mixed media art. Seeing your cards makes me want to get back into it. Winter is coming, so - who knows...

What a wonderful travel journal entry. I love visiting these kind of places and you describing Fairview with your words and photographs makes it come alive for me to enjoy as well. Maybe one day I'll make

Simply beautiful! Well, nothing really so simple about it, rather elaborate and extremely romantic. I hope that by now you do not have to spend months apart anymore but live together in @fermentedphil

Beautiful, River. I am sure your mom will be alright, given time. Your dad will always be with her, no doubt, but she'll be living her life. I'm certain of it because when you talk about your parents all

I think it is a little different if you have your own business and anything you do/work directly benefits you. But it's good to hear that you keep it reined in to a certain amount of time per day AND that

That's great that your workplace is so considerate. In my case, the biggest problem is I because of my own work ethic and expectation. Change is progressing slowly. Honestly, it is a work in progress on

Seems like while being away myself I missed your 'homecoming of sorts'. Congratulations! I hadn't heard of a wet berth yet but it seems to suit your plans so that's great. You truly had a marvelous adventure

That sounds like a good plan. When I do have to work I also try doing it in the morning when my sleepyhead hubby is still in bed - LOL

Yeah, that's pretty much what I do but - should we do it, really? I don't think so but do it anyway because I feel I have to. Hahaha - no more work phones, huh? Good for you!

I believe that without any hesitation. When you love the ocean, there is just something about that breeze and the silence. Today we saw a cat sailing out of a harbor/bay under sail and thought that was

Vacation by the sea is the best! Granted, that's the vacation I grew up with but I also vacationed in the mountains' beauty and I'd still pick the ocean. I agree with your work/vacation assessment. It

Just spray water should do but a garter snake is really harmless, you can pick them up, it may try and bite but likely only threaten to.

Beautiful photos, especially the snake. Looks to me like a garter snake, maybe a checkered garter snake. Or a bull or gopher snake. Both non venomous. If I saw a snake in the wild, I did they were harmless

It has been such a long time... it has also been a very good time. I'm sure I mentioned it here or there but unless you read every single post you'd miss it, so... no worries. First I lived in Essendon
