2020 in review

The only trip to Cafe Trieste of the year, alas.

January

 

The ferry from Victoria to Port Angeles, what a ride.

February

 

Nothing really to say about this.

March

A peaceful truce in the kitchen.

April

A peaceful cat in the garden.

May

The first of many fruit pies. This was a birthday gift to a good friend.

June

The garden was more than happy to show it's appreciation for all the attention it received this year.

July

The prayer flags disappeared up the tree to the squirrel nest. I like to think my squirrel buddies are being kept warm by them as the weather has turned cold.

August

Neighbors were adding their comments to the big cat. More items have appeared and I have my suspicions as to the perpetrator. My next door neighbor and I joke that we have front yards that people do not steal things but rather add things, that's life in Mayberry, Alameda.

September

Finally, air clean enough air to get out on the bay.

October

 

This is Eddy, my granddog, who lives in Truckee enjoying the first snow.

November  
 

And Covid or no Covid, my yogi friends and I managed an exchange of cookies, candy, scarves, and FRUITCAKE. This is no ordinary fruitcake.

December 

What a year! Good health to all!

holiday spirit on burbank street

 These are by far the best holiday decorations I've spotted around town. 




The granny square apron was a nice touch as was the small owl across from the flamingo.

this was november

 
 
Some how the entire month of November slipped by in a blur and here we are with almost a week gone in December. Chairs were brought in from the back lawn, tables were set on the back porch for soup and bread sharing. Alas, we will have to wait a few few weeks for that to take place again.

 
 
We managed afternoon Thanksgiving tea with a neighbor.
 
 
Mike and I nipped into the single malt in the fading afternoon light in the living room. Taking a wee nap before roasting a chicken and calling it a turkey dinner. Solstice celebration will be small cookie exchange with neighbors. No complaints really, other than the lack of rain. Our project lists seem to be constantly refilling. And we look forward to 2021.
