A bit of rain overnight, cloudy but no rain during the day. I'm kind of obsessed with rain. Too little and we don't have any to capture in case we lose water again. Too much and we could lose water; every day there is a flash flood advisory in case the Guajataca dam breaks.
Took care of the horses, took Oz for his walk on the beach. Finally got the mud cleaned off the east deck of the bar - it's only been three months. Got the front differential on the truck fixed. Just another day in paradise. Until...
We were watching yet another sappy Hallmark Christmas movie. As we get near the end of these movies, to try to keep Rolf awake, we started saying, "Rolf! Here comes the kissing part. You like the kissing part. Here comes the kissing."
Tonight Rolf was awake and really didn't need the prompting but we did it anyway. The couple on the sceen kissed and - Rolf moved so he could put his arm around Carole, leaned over, and kissed her!
We were both astounded! Carole got teary-eyed and said, "He hasn't done that for so long!"
I can watch a lot of sappy Hallmark movies if that is the result. Merry Christmas - what a gift!
NOW: December 28, 2018 - Blustery with gusts up to 30 mph overnight and today. Some light rain both through the night and off and on during the day. Clouds blast in with the wind and then part leaving patches of sunshine then slam shut again. I'm still obsessed with rain, now because the horse pastures really need it. We've had no significant rain for over a month and things are dry. The fields we've already used for the horses need rain to come back.
This morning, like every morning now, I took Coda Bear for his beach walk. Elaine went with us this morning. That was a nice change.
I love the colors in the water!
