07:30, 45F, clear and calm. chilly out. roosters up. some birds tweeting. yellow dogs at back door. life goes on.
really enjoyed the fire last night. fell asleep in front of it with a book and the cat in my lap. was like old times.. glad it didn't get into the upper 30's as predicted. didn't even turn a heater on.
10:50, low tide at CK. low 60's, wind, NW, 10-15 knts., sunny. got the other bait seine washed, dried, mended and put away. began a slide show presentation on shore line vegetation. got the fresh/brackish water section done.
no ducks in the tide, just brown pelicans and egrets.
16:40, high tide with pelicans. slightly choppy at the sand spit. got up into the mid-60's. most of the locals are happy about the weather.
swallow-tailed kites along 345.
17:30, 60's at the farm with a chilly breeze from the NW. sunny. got 4 eggs. also got dixie to check through the sheep barn. it's a start.
20:20, 58F. clear and calm. waxing crescent moon and venus lovely in the western sky. have to go out into the pasture to view jupiter now. I have been tracking jupiter since last fall when it was very bright in the eastern sky at dusk. now it sets early in the west and is no longer brighter than any other of the heavenly bodies. those planets do wander around ..
bruiser sleeping at the back door.
