I have to apologize for not keeping up with our blog for the last few months. life is just great for us here in Cambria. Better than even we could imagine. We have time to walk, talk, read,garden, do music with friends,and spend time with Kelly, Brian and Bixby. Mike is back to playing Tennis a couple of times a week (he is over the joint issues he had for a couple of years ), he is making pine needle baskets and bird nesting boxes. We have a good social life with great friends. Today we walked on the bluffs in the morning and the afternoon, riding our scooter down the road to the beach, collecting shells for Mikes baskets and then eating cheese and crackers on the bluffs watching a pod of 6 humpback whales go by. Wonderful. We are having a big family camp out at El Capitan this weekend with 4 generations and friend and family., honoring moms, especially my mom who is 84 years young. We love observing the nature happening in our back yard. nesting Chickadees have just left the nest, the woodpecker has almost finished pecking out her nesting hole and the wild turkeys and deer are checking out our front yard for tasty plants and water.
These are some photos taken on the Ranch by our good friend Brad Seek.
Brad and Mike discovered that they went to St Cyrils school together and Brad has a picture of them in the same 4th grade class. Its a small world and we have found several similar connections in Cambria. This is a great community.
We have seen this Red Fox on the Ranch.
And the Burrowing Owl
This is similar to the Chickadee that nested in our box.
My parents came at Easter and my mom and
Bixby went over the plans
to remodel Kelly and Brian's kitchen.
Mikes reading puts Bixby to sleep
This is the nesting box Mike made that the Chickadees used.
And our woodpecker tree. We thought we would remove this old snag when we first moved in but now realize how valuable it is to the woodpecker community. It also stops them from pecking on our house. !!
