Mossy

There was nothing on the calendar today. This is very rare in my house. I contemplated a quiet day at home. It was raining outside, and gray. Felt like a good idea. But then... I thought of things to do. Get a smaller craft table for Helena in her new place and bring the too large one home to put in our room downstairs. Pick up medications at the market. Invite Helena along so she could shop too. Do the wash...

And so we did. And the quiet day evaporated in a puff of smoke. What I didn't do was drive an hour to Stanwood to see if the Long Eared Owls were still there. I would have liked that but I drove to Anacortes and back yesterday and I really wasn't in the mood for a longish drive. Another day. I wasn't even sure they would be there. Then I read the birder's newsletter I just joined and found that the were there yesterday. So tomorrow? Probably not as I have an afternoon appointment.

It was that kind of a day. I took this photo during a walk I took this afternoon when the errands were done and Arvin was napping. I love the look of the bare branches and the thick moss.
