Outside In The Sun
Sitting outside in the Sun in early December on the Oregon Coast is great! It’s not always like that, rain is more likely. But not today and the many birds that live where I do are digging it too. While I’m kicking back enjoying the day the birds are probably getting ready for Winter. But…
