the past couple of days have been heavenly

On Friday, the only cure for Thursday's late night at the saloon was to hole up in the back of our car with a down comforter and our futon, parked right on a bluff overlooking this shot above. The following did occur:

~My first whale watching session. I am an extremely impatient person, but having essentially a bed on the beach, pillows and all, helped.
~Seeing whales all afternoon
~Flipping through old Sunset magazine back issues I bought from the library
~Eating local strawberries and cherries from the farmer's market, a basket between us--red fingerprints on a white duvet.
~Maybe we drove 30 miles for an In N Out burger after sunset, maybe we didn't
~Listening to the newest Iron & Wine release while dozing in and out of reality, wrapped beneath a thick blanket and in my love's arms
~Seeing mega cheeky squirrels annoy people as they stopped for a look at the ocean--seriously hilarious
~Seagulls flying overhead
~The curve of my foot in his

** I also should add that a guy from not only my husband's country, but hometown and village walked into the inn on Thursday night. They did not know each other but were a year apart in age. We all had a great night. The world is a small place.
