Walking into the fog

Went to the Oregon coast for my first trip away from home in two years and stayed at this lovely riverboat Airbnb

What I see under my office door when somebody is asking to come in

Following the latest CDC guidance, we went for a largely maskless beach walk last night. It was lovely and we even saw some whales feeding in the ocean

The arrival of warmer weather allows me to run my iOS shortcut that uses HomeKit temperature sensors to tell me when to open the windows to cool down the house in the evening

Neighborhood watch

I’m a fan of the Hemispheric Views podcast and enjoy the episodes where they critique listener’s desk set-ups. So I shared a couple of photos on their Discord and they wrote up their thoughts on my set-up on their new blog.

It’s a lovely time of year for chilly morning walks

Beautiful. (And the bridge is decent too, I guess.)

Seen in The Mission today

After a month of fostering we said goodbye to Harriet aka Bashful today. It was sad to see her go, but we’re delighted that she has found her forever home

You never forget your first time 🇺🇸

The latest neighborhood wildlife sighting: a heron randomly landed on a nearby house

I made my first batch of homemade cold brew this week and it turned out delicious! ☕️😋

Beach reflection

A 🦔 makes a good pillow

Olive’s face tells you that she didn’t enjoy having her blood drawn. However, she tried to cheer herself up by wearing her sparkly pink bandage like an 80s leg warmer.

Glamping

Fish

Foggy when we started the hike. Sunny by the time we finished.
