Of Eagles and New Friends

Little iddy bitty violets coming on in the rain.

 

We just got done with the Monday morning walk.  Cynthia came by with her two dogs and we all got wet.  Yea, what fun.  So tomorrow, God willing we will be able to do the 908 and the 909th laps and be on into Santiago.   We are going to start at 1600 and will probably have some tapas and wine to celebrate.  So come if you can.

Yesterday just immmediately after the walk there was a mature bald eagle that landed in our north pasture.  What a sight.  He was there for half an hour, just resting I guess.  It is unusual to see them at ground level.  This is the time of year when we see them the most often.  Some more Wild Kingdom.

Also in the news is a book coming out in July entitled Mission Walker.  It is written by Edie Littlefield Sundby.  Is is the story of her cancer camino, a walk through the missions in California and Mexico, the Camino Real.  I am looking forward to checking that out.  Somehow we are FaceBook friends.  I can’t exactly remember how that happened but anyway yesterday we put two and two together and figured out who we were and started conversing.  She is a major Cancer Commando and it is an honor to be around her.  So I am sure there will be more to come on that account and I will keep you informed, meantime Mission Walker has a FB page.

So little odds and ends of news from here at Phil’s Camino.  It is all “so far so good” around here as my walking buddy Bill puts it.  Remember your intentions for Lent, don’t let them drift away.  St Patrick’s Day coming up Friday.  Things happening loves, Felipe.
