we are blest by everything

down below on the water
ducks, geese and an entire nation
of frogs make music..
the wind finds the yurt..
a cozy dwelling for the walkweary!

dinner was homemade lentil soup,
naan and salad..YUMMM!
we (i) devoured handfuls of chocolate covered cranberries!
abby and eric are teachers..
most of their neighbors too!

soaking in the big tub by candlelight,
i found the yeats poem
i slipped in the inner lood.
sleeping comes easy after a 16 miler..
the frogs serenading..

the geese arrive early am!
merriley and the girls walk me about the wee lake below..
blessings on a birthday tree for abby,
feathers from bird looting..
we walk up to michelle and dave's yurt
for tea and a smoothie..
yes, teachers!

they are renovating a boat
for their bedroom and guest quarters..
the name of the boat..
willamillanoonerwah..
not really ..!!!
i will get the correct spelling soon..
it is a wind from the artic..
i may be making that up too..
the truth will out..
michelle's mama is in the caribbean
in the peace corps..
she sold everything to follow her heart!

abby gives me a ride to the chimicum cafe
where i plan to meet autumn..
sadly, i miss her as i must meet
fred and harvey down the road!
carey finds me at the laundry
and we take two for an interview for pepper spray
and the peace walk.
as we are filming, a man comes up,
introducing himself as jeffrey hall..
he saw me walking along center road;
he had put a sign on his mail box
welcoming me in for a cuppa when i passed his way.
the opportunity was missed
because i had turned off
at the egg and i!
turns out he has the original
..war is not healthy..
on his blue car!
he now has.. peace is healthy
on his white car!
just like that we offer our hearts..

after groceries
harvey and fred and i head back
to the cafe..still no autumn
but a tasty lunch.
thank you, harvey!
we land at fred's cabin on dabob bay
where we settle in for a grey day
of movies and popcorn..
our feet are up..
we be smiling!
everything we look upon is blest
