Calm today

This morning is calm and peaceful, which after three days of steady winds is welcomed. My neighbors Stephen and Julie pulled out this morning, heading for their place in Arizona. They originally came for a week to visit Sal and Shelly, but after some arm twisting relented and stayed a second week. Steve said they will be back next year and maybe stay longer. This mornings walk down by the water showed that more pelicans have arrived to sample the fishermen spoils. They really seem to enjoy the fish cleaning station at the end of the dock.
