A day off...

...from unpacking and arranging.  My friend is here from Minnesota.  Yesterday we wandered down to the South Yuba, it was beautiful there.

And we shopped and ate and wandered some more, it was great!

Peace

September Swim

If I wasn't already crazy about this state then today tipped me over completely.  We headed out of town to a nice swimming hole on the Yuba River and spent a couple of hours splashing around in the water.  It just couldn't have been a better day, sunny and warm, and the water felt incredibly good on my skin. The river is so clear you can see every rock. A big frog leaped off the bank and practically landed on me which made me shriek and then laugh with delight when I saw what it was.

If you managed to cross a river otter with a Corgi this is what you'd get.

The funny thing is that Bode loves water but is barely able to stay afloat when he swims.  I think he's too thin and has too much fur.  Dandy tolerates water but is a pretty good swimmer.  Of course.  Both of them tried their best to hop from rock to rock to stay close to us.

I can't wait to go back.

Peace
