It’s raining today. I’m not complaining!! We need the rain.
We’ve only measured half the “normal” rainfall for the season so far. We don’t
get snow here in Monterey, so we depend on rain to replenish the ground water
supply and fill the reservoirs. I doubt 6 inches will fall in the next 2 days,
but it would be nice to get a couple inches.
Last weekend, I walked down to the bay to watch these:
 |
| This one broke the surface of the water as though it needed to breathe! |
 |
| Such a graceful swimmer |
My phone doesn’t do justice to the spectacle. These Jelly fishs were just spectacular. So easy to watch, and an otter swam right in between them and the dock! I wasn't fast enough to catch a picture of that, but this picture shows a bit the size difference between an otter and a boat. I would like
to find time this weekend to tour the new displays at the Aquarium. Perhaps I’ll
find answers to questions from last weekend’s walk.

In the meantime, I’ve loaded beads for a trial through of Dazzling
Debut by Marilee Rockley. It’s in Tatting with Beads Jewelry. I’ve wanted to
try curled rings forever. Since I had most of the tatting projects well in
hand, I dove right in.
One of those projects is the next round of Renulek’s Wiosna
2017 doily. I know, I know. It took me long enough to make a decision! I think
I’ll like it. With all the other demands on my time, It’ll take me a month or
so to make enough headway to show a picture.
One of those demands is on the organ bench. I’ll be playing
at St. Paul’s Friday at Noon for those local to me. Bach, Franck, Walther and
Saint-Saens. Not in that order. Or maybe. Come and find out!
