The Sun Lives!

Thursday, 10/28

Not today, it doesn’t. Clouds. Rain. Fog. We never left the condo. Well, Elaine got her walk in. I go a bit later. I got half a walk in before it started raining and I returned home. The car never moved today. We binge watched The Sinners on Netflix. And we watched the once undefeated Cardinals blow the chance for a great last second win against the Packers. Cocktails inside and leftover chili for dinner.

Cloudy but clearing when we got up. At last, the sun was returning to Oregon. Elaine took her usual walk into town. I walked out to Center Point, snapping pictures as I went.

No whale sightings yet, by the way. Very unusual. Lots of seals and/or sea lion in the water in front of our balcony. And we see the eagle almost every day. Yesterday we saw him with his dinner in his talons. According to the building superintendent, the eagles are nesting in the wood just across Route 101 from our condo. Apparently they prey mostly on rabbits.

We spent almost the entire day enjoying the sunshine on the balcony. The temperatures here are in the upper 50’s, but in the afternoon, with sun shining on the ocean and the balcony protected from the wind, it is very pleasant and it feels like 70 or 75. I sit out in just a short sleeve shirt and shorts. Cocktails were, of course, on the balcony and we had a beautiful sunset. Today the sun set at 6:01 pm.

Dinner was a delicious chicken and broccoli dish made by Chef Elaine. Then early to bed.

  1. Yay, sunshine. Beautiful pics on your walk to Center Point. And the sunset from the balcony. May the good weather continue.

  2. Omg the sun pictures were magnificent, now that’s so enjoyable for the walk and the happy hour!! Glad it has returned!! It should continue, don’t see too much happening in the pacific, fingers crossed! I just love that area of coast from Depoe north to Cannon Beach. Try the Grimaldi drive, it has trains there!!

  3. Sunset is beautiful and of course Chef Elaine cooked a great meal!!
