dogs

 

day one of three consecutive at the old Berry Farm

D at the End of the World

    S to Gunderson Building in Everett for consult on the color of her wrist cast. On to R's by 3pm. Marbos at her nanny, so D and I left for home while S got ready for her early flight to Miami by spending the night in Columbia City at R's. Ali, R's roomy, is in Columbia visiting his folks. No drugs available at Costco and scant food was needed except for naan (15), compari tomatoes(20), avocados(5), cottage cheese(3 lbs), and bananas(12). Returned some stuff, coat, gel seat, got gas. Dropped white afghan at cleaners($27) on the Mukilteo Speedway near the Mongolian Grill. I probably walked D or he played with A and B in the back.

    Up to Greenbank Farm with D. Marvelous opportunities for romping, standing-on-back-legs tooth dancing and just dogging around. Spoke with two new Aussie parents with dogs closely related to D : sister/brother, half-brothers. One dad lived next to Bob Crane, his dog was Benny. 

S. Valadon by Renoir

    Then came Ruby with her dad, Jeff. who told me that Nordin, the North American representative of the Suzanne Valadon Society was moving toward final tweaks on his bust of Valadon herself. The bust will lie in Paris at the museum. As we chatted the wind came up driving rain over the open terrain and dragging the anchors of the huge container ships berthed in Holmes Harbor.

    I bought a jar of fig preserves from the Cheese Store there at the farm for information about the restroom.

    I'm going more often up there; it's the moors and there are tucks where you might spent some time napping in all weathers.
