sometimes pets are closer, as they are living with us full time sharing same daily life, while some of the human family members have already relocated far away long time ago and they are on their own way
Shoes on the beach….. it must be a European thing 🤨
That is true my cat hairy has this desire to leave our home and become a world famous rap star. I keep holding her back not giving her money for the bus etc. maybe I should just let her go follow her dreams
We do it too in the Pacific Northwest and far northern California. It can be so windy and cold at the beach you really need to bundle up. I have a funny story about this. When my girls were very little they used to watch this show for preschoolers called Blues Clues. It is one of those shows where the host talks to the audience. There is a little blue dog called Blue and her owner / friend Steve. They decide to go to the beach and Steve opens Blue's closet and asks the kids "What does Blue need to go to the beach?" There are many choices like: swimsuit, sun hat and sandals, but my daughters started yelling out "the jacket, boots . . . " and other such things that they always wore to the beach. They were really confused by the "correct" answers.
+1. Anyone can go to the beach when its sunny.
I have a snapshot in my mind of my young daughters at the coast. We were in Newport beachcombing while the girls played in the sand. My wife and I got about 100 feet away and turned to see both girls laying face down on the beach with their hoodies pulled up and partly covering their face and their heads pointed into the wind. The strong wind was horizontal and blowing a stream of sand with it. They were perfectly content.
I wish I had a camera and that was before I had a cell phone. I was very proud of our girls at that moment and told my wife, now those are some tough Oregonian girls!
We still love the coast and we always wear shoes.
EDIT: I just told this story about Blues clues and people wearing swimsuits and sandals to the beach.
Her response was, "Wimps!"
Last week in the lockdown update I posted a pic of the cocoon on the door jamb of the man cave. Well after a week of watching and observing the odd movement it all happened this morning. Hardly a David Attenborough production but it was pretty cool to observe. You will have to forgive the iPhone pics.
From a couple of days ago.
Yesterday, you can see the colour has change.
This morning and the colour is darker.
You can now see it start opening up.
And in no time at all.
The door jamb was too slick for him and he fell so a little assistance was required.
Safely in a tree while his wings dry.
The last we saw of him. Didn't get to see him fly away as we had to go for our Covid shots.
What he left behind.
From the photo it looks like I killed a vampire cat :0)
