Catching up

• Haven't seen the sunrise now in two days.  Yesterday I slept in because I wasn't feeling well and knew it would be cloudy anyway.  Today I just slacked and didn't get up.  My soul misses starting the day with Sunbella rising up and proclaiming "the day begins."  I'll do better tomorrow.  Dazzling sunshine now, taking the temp to the mid-50s.  Hopefully we'll get in a beachwalk on our last day together.
• My SGD has still been feeling puny with head/chest congestion, so we've been taking it easy.  Friday we sunned on the ocean deck and took a short beachwalk before the cool front moved in.  Topped off our day with hot-tubbing and sauna time.
• Yesterday we headed back north to La Belle Amie Winery for the Saturday bonfire.  A country picker/singer entertained, including his hilarious rendition of "The Devil Went Down to Jamaica," with Johnny and the Devil at war over who had the best weed.  We sipped Heavenly Body Cabernet Savignon and warm mulled wine, did a little rubbing on Bella and Amie (the winery dogs), and enjoyed the sharp woodsy bonfire smell and cuddling in the afternoon chill.  The ash blowing around looked like snow.  Wonderful way to spend a Saturday, or any day, afternoon.
