A relaxed day

We took a mellow approach to the day. Slept in, ate breakfast at the cottage, took short walks with OldManDog; decided to try to get some work (grading, planning) out of the way; went up to Ft. Bragg for provisions, had a leisurely dinner of pizza and vino; watched some DVDs and ogled the real estate catalogs. Nothing major, and that's just what the doctor ordered for the day.

Had sun only parts of the day. The cottage saw rain, but it was while we were grocery and pizza shopping. Supposed to receive more rain tomorrow. Also supposed to receive a massage tomorrow -- thank you, lord. If all goes as planned (and these are loose plans indeed), the Mendocino Art Center, some heckuvit shopping, and picnic at the botanical gardens are in our future.

Here are some of the colors of Mendo in March:

You're just doing this to make me jealous, aren't you?

so far it's been just lovely. today's rain, but of course it's off and on again, with some patches of peek-through sun. had hot stone massages today in the cottage (oh. mah. gah.). we haven't managed to get gussied up enough to go into town today; wonder why.

gratuitous shot of my dog. hmph, some say gratuitous; i say utterly necessary! ;-) (j/k, gawdess. this place IS a coffeetable book!) and yes, scriv, you've stumbled onto my deepest motivation! not really -- it's just so lovely that i can't help but share it with y'all. i declare the necessity of getaway vacations.
