First, a few pics from yesterday’s Farmer’s Market in Newport:

Best plums ever!  Best baguette outside of France ever!  Great green beans and sweet corn!

So this morning, it was foggy and dreary at the condo.  We both did separate walks into town.

Then we decided to go to Lincoln City’s Farmer’s Market in the hope the baguette lady would be there.  As soon as we rounded the corner at Boiler Bay (about 1/4 mile from the condo), the sun was out brightly.  And voila!  The baguette lady was there, so there would be delicious sandwiches again for lunch.

We went home and watched the Patriot’s game.  My one year boycott is over.  Good game to watch.  What should have been an easy win turned into a bit of a nail biter near the end, but the Pats, as usual, prevailed.

Magically the fog lifted and it turned into a glorious afternoon.  We very happy to just st on the balcony, enjoy our sandwiches, sop up the sun, and watch the whales.  There are dozens of whales right in front of us.  You see their spouts, a bit of their backs, and maybe a fin or tail.  No breaching.  I snuck in a nap.  Dinner at home again – leftover meat loaf, more sweet corn, and more green beans.  Pecan tarts with whipped cream for dessert.

People have asked about the weather.  The official highs in Depoe Bay are in the upper sixties, but when the sun shines on the balcony, shorts are de rigeur and sun tan lotion is in use.

  1. Ah, la dolce vita. Looks warmer today. Sounds like you are having a wonderful relaxing time. Of course we also watched the Patriots game today. Glad to hear your one year boycott is over. Brady still has it and so does Gronk. Bobby rode down on his motorcycle today. Cool but pleasant weather. Looking forward to tomorrow’s post by Admin. Who the hell is Admin, anyway?

  2. Great balcony. What a spot to sit, drink, eat, and watch whales. I love it. We’ve had more whales than usual in Rye this year as well due to the warmer water.

    Glad your boycott is over. Go Pats. Go Red Sox.
