Quiet day

 

There was an eagle across the river yesterday. Typically, we only see them in the winter when they feed on carrion. However, our neighbor upstream just cleaned and filleted some whole salmon that he bought on the reservation, and that might have something to do with the sudden eagle interest. 

Everyone is busy except me, just puttering around the house, reading and relaxing. My friend Karen is coming over later for a glass of wine.

Nova is in Winthrop, and Maya is at Merc Theater kid's drama camp here in Twisp. Amanda is working on filing her credentials and getting certified/licensed with the Washington Department of Health, etc. She's been on the phone for hours. Passing the test was not the end of it. All of this has to be completed before she can work.

I made bean soup with cornbread and a bushel of salad for the girls tonight. It is cloudy and much cooler and possibility of precious rain. Although I hear it is finally raining in Seattle, which is very good news for our garden.The family is leaving on Friday for a week backpacking trip to the Washington coast, and I'll go back to Seattle Wednesday. Tomorrow is my clean up and laundry day.
