Bandon
I couldn’t resist the fabulous weather forecast for Bandon, even though it’s going to be nice in North Bend too. So I was off early this morning, listening to audio books, rocketing south on I-5. As usual, the sunset at Bandon Beach was lovely, even with a mostly overcast sky.
A Break in the Grayness
In our periods of relentless drizzle and gray, the clouds often part to give us brief glimpses of blue and lovely clouds. Late this afternoon we had just a few minutes of clearing and got this view from the front step:
It’s Finally Starting to Get to Me
This is pretty much what the weather is going to look like for the next month… when it isn’t pouring rain. It’s six weeks before I head to Las Vegas for a week of golf. It’s going to be a long six weeks.
Library Puzzle

I’m not sure why we enjoyed this puzzle. It was tedious to be sure but still had enough fascinating details I guess. Like a little mouse peeking through the balcony railing and the mounted butterflies on the wall.
Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood

The forecast says we should approach 60 degrees again today. We are certainly off to a beautiful start. Caught this view on the way home from the gym this morning.
Local Climate Change, I Guess
The thermometer at Mt Si read 64 degrees this afternoon, under perfectly clear skies. I practiced in short sleeves. At 5:30 it’s still officially 55. Really amazing weather for January although I notice the high last January 25 was a pleasant 54.
Farewell to Lucy
Mary Anderson, the daughter of our neighbor Nancy, has spent the past several months living at home with mom while job hunting. This morning she headed off to her new post at Central College in Pella, Iowa. We had to say goodbye to our surrogate dog, Lucy, a beautiful, athletic black lab. We can’t wait until they visit again in the summer.
Off to Alaska
We just made a deposit on a full week trip to Alaska in June.
Two days in Juneau, three days in Anchorage and two days in Denali. We’ll travel by seaplane, rubber boat, jeep, bus, catamaran, small cruise ship, rental car and train. It should be an adventure.
What a Cutie
Posted by nbdog in Animals, Around the house on 21-Jan-2015
The little brown squirrel that spent so many hours eating peanuts in the feeder hanging from our backyard maple was devoured by a hawk last fall. Then, just a couple of months ago, this little fella appeared and is a regular visitor every day. He gets a special stash of peanuts in the morning then forages under the bird feeders the rest of the day.
