Morning walk 05-04-24

When we walk twice a day we meet our neighbors.  I wave to everyone passing  in cars and sometimes they wave back.  We say hello to everyone on foot and mostly they greet us in  return.  If they stop  KoKo will go to the guy first no matter how sweet talking the woman is. He just likes people and especially children;  when he hears them out playing he wants to go see them. 
 
Here he greets Tina, our dog-less friend that walks in morning. She listens to books on her cell phone and will be so engrossed she won't stop until KoKo stops her.

When someone stops petting him, he lays down on their feet, maybe so they can't get away. This morning I sat at the low end of a wall and then had to scoot my bottom  up the slope until I could get the leverage to stand up again.  If I had not been doing the twice a week fitness workouts I might still be sitting there!

There were early sprinkles this morning that decorated the spider webs on the pittosporum.  

When the sun comes out the drops turn into diamonds.

Crow on a chain 02-24-09

I thought I had posted this photo of Corky and Tina at Discoveries Jewelry shop, but I can't find it in the archives. Tina owns and operates this lovely store, selling handmade jewelry and wonderful unusual handmade treasures. Corky likes to visit because she has treats for doggies and she insists that he can explore the shop off his lease. Tina is a dog lover!

A month or so ago I bought this wonderful crow pin handmade by Gabrille Gould. I like it very much, but it is difficult for me to wear pins because of the type of clothes I wear and pins always get hooked up on the seat belt in the van.

I mentioned the problem to Tina who said the solution was to put a bail on the pin. I said go for it although I couldn't quite picture what she was explaining. "The bail has a sleeve that covers the pin," didn't register on my brain. Today I picked up the crow and now I understand what she meant. Clever - it doesn't slide around.

I did look at some earrings and other things, but managed to get out of the shop without adding anything to my jewelry box. Next time!
