there is ash all over my car again.
this time it must be the big sur fire. these is scary because that is such wonderful wilderness down there. i worry about bixby canyon, where Dewie's mom used to live. that's the really wonderful big bridge that shows up in so many pictures; it's over that canyon and we played on the beach there. wonderful memories.
the blue/teal/purple windsock that hangs over the bed from the ceiling fan/light is from a trip Linda and I took to the Big Sur area maybe 5 years ago. and she and Aud drove down there in the last year. Nepenthe restaurant, Esalen retreat center...all very important places.
this morning on our walk, Christine and I saw a hummingbird, feeding on some nice slender purply blue blossoms. he looked at us, and kept feeding. she may bring her camera tomorrow. it was pretty special. very close.
