Tonight’s seasonal brew BAD SANTA Cascadia Dark Ale from Pelican Brewery. Clean piney hop finish. If you’re visiting the Oregon coast be sure to visit for the food, the brew and the ocean view.

My foot warmer last night.

Tonight’s holiday season libation. “Warming ale with notes of coffee and dark stone fruit.” Delicious!

The contrast between today and yesterday.

River Otters in the pond. Sound on - you can hear the little chirp they make when they come up and the splash when they dive for more fish. I can’t believe this is only a 10 minute walk from our house.

More photos from our hike to the pond.

Beautiful day in Olympia after all the rain. Photos from our walk today. The pond is only a 10 minute hike from our house.

We finally found someone to take in the stray kitten. I held her for a while & explained that she was going to be in a good home soon. It’s a 1 hour drive but worth it to see her safe & warm. She is calm and not complaining about being in the car, which is very unusual.

After 44 hours power was finally restored. What a relief. Man, the lights seem bright!

C’mon PSE, a block of 16 houses including mine has been without power for 44 hours now.
