i found the ocean!

Kristin:

After working a case at the Bay Area Hospital all night, I finished in time to find the beach at sunrise. This is just south of Reedsport. I drove the car as far as it would go down a dirt road and then walked the rest of the way over the dunes until I found the ocean. Also saw a bunch of elk.

hangin with mah peeps

I got chickens! The best way to get eggs... cruelty-free, hormone-free, antibiotic-free and evil-free. Also a great way to waste time as I can pretty much stare at them for very long periods of time and be totally entertained. Although these gals need a few months before they lay any breakfast, here they are. Presenting Petunia (tuna) and Pearl.

Petunia getting nosy (beaky?) regarding the camera

Pearl being calm and lady-like as always, showing off her new wing feathers.

Pearl is the most mellow baby bird in history, and a natural model.

Here is Pearl again posing peacefully with a tic-tac box for scale.
