This was my parents dog, he left us yesterday and we will all miss him.  This picture was the last I had of him, taken by my Mom when they came to see us last month.  We were at the vacation rental and got caught up in a game of Horse/basketball and next thing we know there was Buddy swimming around in the pond like a little beaver, happy as can be.  So we let him swim for a bit and then he got a bath outside and this was right after that bath. 

It is so hard losing a pet, they are our family and so much of our routine is wrapped around them.  It’s hard to imagine them not here anymore.  We will miss you Buddy, you were a great dog.

This is part of my neighbor Norma’s yard.  Isn’t it so pretty and peaceful looking?  Those who have been coming for a while know Norma; she did this photo site before me (and resists my attempts to get her to take it back over!)   You might recognize the purple bush in this picture, it’s where I released my butterflies.

I took this leaving Dungeness Rec Area yesterday.  We went over there because we wanted to grab a camping spot for the weekend…but they still have loop one closed.   That leaves just loop two-which all the good sites were reserved.   I tried calling both the park itself and the parks system and got voicemail.  I emailed too, but no answer.   So camping was out this weekend.  I miss the days where you couldn’t reserve at that campground, but I understand that for someone on vacation it’s a good thing to lock in your spot.  That is why we like loop one, it’s first come first occupy.  If it were open that would work out really well 😉

We have had three days in a row of great weather.  It’s gorgeous in Sequim right now because it’s sunny, the skies are blue and the mountains are out with snow on them.
