view from deck

So, after recent events, we decided to splurge and go on a trip for my birthday.  We went to Iron Spring Resort near Copalis Beach.  Above is the view from our deck to the west, and below is the view to the south.

We mostly took it easy as it was stormy most of our time there.  Tom read and I worked on a jigsaw puzzle.

We cooked our meals, and for my birthday dinner I made turkey pot pies from the turkey we have baked the night before.  I accompanied this with French Perry.

On my actual birthday it cleared up enough that we took the dogs on a relatively long walk down the beach.  That night we had a reasonable sunset,

and moon.

This morning the clammers were out in force,

and the sky turned blue as we were leaving.
