Happy Tree Friends

We had a long weekend here this weekend. Her Maj's birthday. Old Queenie's birthday is back in April or May so it's very good of her to wait until September for WA to celebrate.

And what a weekend. We were blasted with sunshine and warmth for three days straight. The ocean was calm and blue and speckled with white sail- and power-boats. The Norfolk pines were a vibrant green. All along the coast people were out walking in their best pastel and cream gear and dreaming of painting a feature wall aquamarine and hanging salt-bleached driftwood, studded with sea shells, from it. The little dogs out taking in the sun and the fresh ocean breeze had a little extra pep in their steps.

Today it's raining. You can't have everything.
