Yesterday afternoon I looked out and here was a one elk. She was certainly
dark in color.. not like the usual..she looked at me for a few and then went
into the bushes....
Then I was on the phone with Sacramento Linda and Dude was barking, then
this howling barking started. I went outside and wayyyyyyyyy down in the lower
pasture was a young coyote.... a black one! He
was screaming/barking/howling..probably lost sight of his mom. Never saw a black
coyote before.... nor a black elk! Weird! do do do do do do do do.........

Well, bummer about yesterday and dinner at Applegate Valley Ranch. The
thunder started in the morning about 9am and accompanied by rain. Got a lot in a
short time, but in Grants Pass the thunder was shaking everyone's homes! Scaring
the animals and a lot of people! 4000+ homes lost power and by afternoon it was down to 1400+. We
all decided to stay home last night and make sure our pets were not frightened
and if the power went out we would be home. Of course, no more storm. But that's
ok. We'll do Applegate Ranch one more time before summer is over.
At least I finally got my sink fixed.
Don't worry, the left handle is white wine!
At the beauty shop yesterday Leah was cutting the hair of a local woman who
is 90 years old. On her 90th birthday she did skydiving! OMG. She's quite a gal.
Chatted with her a bit. She walks all over town and still drives. We should all
be so "spry" at that age!
Lunch yesterday... fried egg on top of rice cake, cheese on top of
egg...
Dinner was veggies and lemon/mayonnaise/garlic dipping sauce...
All I know. Lunch with the "girls" today. Rain or shine! Rosso's and then
The Twisted Cork for wine and tourist watching! Rosso's Italian.... good
food!
Twisted Cork wine bar with seats at the windows so we can watch the crazies
driving and walking! (No eye contact Jeannie! LOL)
Nuff said. TGIF. Ciao.
