And dry! We need rain desperately. Those Sea Lions make quite a spectacle of themselves down here. They laze about on the docks at Pier 39 and bark their fool heads off. The tourists love it.

They come in the hundreds to feed on the nearby corn fields and spend the night on the water in front of our house. The geese coming in to land at dusk is quite stunning to watch (and hear)...how they don't all run into each other, I'll never know. The ducks we just plain love. They QUACK and quack at each other in the darkness...sounding like squabbling old married couples. We love them. They're all gone now...as the river is frozen over. Phew...we can finally hear ourselves think! Hope you have a good week.Sue Burpeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07282970328494769657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-35194211192646604252015-01-11T16:23:09.051-08:002015-01-11T16:23:09.051-08:00We took a long walk in the grey mist this afternoo...We took a long walk in the grey mist this afternoon and now I'm cozy by the fire with a few friendly candles glowing. Great photos of the sea lions - I can imagine how noisy a herd of them would be.

I was sixer of the fairies long ago and Daughter was Rainbow Owl to a Brownie pack.The sea lions are quite amazing. We have heard them off the Oregon Coast. Sea lions, hair and personality…Quite a leap.Madame Là-bashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16703782237948233124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-3519386073757852632015-01-11T14:07:22.298-08:002015-01-11T14:07:22.298-08:00Toasty here in the car waiting for the ferry.

Of course all that lovely hear will soon seep away and I'll be left with a cold seat and steamy windows by the time the boat loads. <br />I can imagine the noise of the sea lions and how it could wake I w doe sleep. Better than police sirens any day!Pondsidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02407539138546412482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-82032135615979999692015-01-11T12:54:35.698-08:002015-01-11T12:54:35.698-08:00I'm cozy under my new heating pad.
