So we've been trying to squeeze the last drops out of summer these past few days.
We went to the coast on Thursday and had a nice time seeing the usual circuit of places we and the dogs love. Agate Beach was almost empty and the cool clean air was a delight after many days in the smokey valley. The absence of humans on the beach helped to preserve a number of great sand formations, but high tide timing on our part made shell hunting unrewarding. We delighted in the huge driftwood tangles instead.
Today we took Hwy 99 to Eugene for Saturday Market. The coast range was extra lovely with layers of smoke, cloud cover, and fog. In town we took the dogs to a new dog park and Freyja had a great time exploring the various little swimming pools. Later though we noticed that she was shivering, so we put one of my shirts on her...she was not pleased, however she was warm.
So it goes. Onward to fall!

I love that we are totally amused and Freyja looks irate!
Im a dog damm it,these humans are kind but must I lower myself?
When we were at Agate Beach on Tuesday it was foggy and windy. I didn't remember from previous visits that it had those steep east-west dunes that made walking so challenging. Are they just from this winter's storms? Some visitors in the parking lot stopped and asked - "where are the stones?" and I said I thought it was high tide, so the stones were under water right now. Surely some agates are left?
