We had a turbulent ocean today - lots of very loud crashing waves.  I love it when it is like this.  The wind was howling while we were walking along that area - it was gorgeous.  Heinze found no gophers but it wasn't for the lack of trying - bless his heart - he dug holes everywhere to no avail.   Did I ever mention that we have deer wandering around here?  We do.  Some people here refer to them as large rodents - because they eat everything in sight and they have fleas.  I find them a little too sweet looking to refer to them as rats.   Like this little guy.  I've uploaded some very pretty sunsets that I have taken pictures of over the past few days if you want to please take a look - there is one of Chloe too - she is growing up and I haven't even rocked her in a rocking chair yet - I have to get on that..  You know how some things take your breath away?  Bright colors - sunsets - deep blue oceans - green rolling hills - bright flowers - strong horses galloping - they take my breath away but only if I pay attention.  It is time to pay attention.  You all take care. lj
