Often as I drive to work, I’ve noticed these birds perched on top of the street lights that are on the River Road overpass. There wasn’t anywhere to pull off and take a picture. Then I found they were also perching on the street lights along the bypass. I know they aren’t seagulls, eagles or sparrows…after that…maybe pigeons? Where is my bird book when I need it?

The area office for the Washington State Highway Patrol is located halfway between Sequim and Port Angeles. These fine men and women do an excellent job of responding to accidents, provding ferry terminal security, reminding drivers to drive with care, and helping to make our lives safer. thankyou to those who do this difficult job.

Last year we had a rash of accidents on Highway 101. It’s nice to see the number going up.

After Dsole posted that wonderful library in Madrid…I thought I’d give you a little contrast. Our library is not big enough, even for our small town, but it is mighty. Part of the North Olympic Library System , it offers access to materials in librarys through out Clallam Country. I love the fact I can go online and search for books, movies, CD’s. Once I find what I want, I simply order it and I’m notified by email when it is ready for pick-up. Not bad! It has only been in what I like to call recent history that they have instituted fines for late materials.

Are you as ready as I am? I spotted these beautiful white tipped pansies at Sunny Farms last week.

For those who saw the picture of our new baby and saw yesterday’s post, you might have thought you would see me spoiling the baby…and that has been going on…but the real reason I have been out of pocket this last week, lies in this room. I thought a 2 week window was ample time to move all the furniture out, paint the walls, and get moved backed in…Normally it would be, but we had a new baby. Then I got sick and gave it to the grandson who was helping me with this project. My poor little computer has been unplugged, plugged back in…moved from one side of the room…notice the paint can I am using for a chair. You might also see evidence of a quick breakfast, blue painter’s tape…and definately missing covers for light fixtures. I am very happy with the color. This was achieved after three primer coats (it was going over paneling), then a base coat followed by a glaze. Tonight the grandson comes after his second job and we shampoo the floor. I love my grandkids!

I caught this seagull enjoying the updrafts along an ocean front trail. Tonight I hope to show you a post of what I’ve been up to lately….my excuse for late posts, typos, etc.
