Quackfest

Friday was a knockout day. Temperature in the mid-40's with tons of sun. I went for a walk at the Auke Bay Recreation Area. Lots of folks with kids and dogs. A pod of porpoise were frolicking in the bay. A couple of sealions were lurking off the point. Lots of quackers including a big flock of Barrow's Goldeneye who got close enough for a couple of good pics. Hard to believe it's February!

Barrow's Goldeneye

A beautiful spring-like day at Auke Bay

Last night I attended a supper party at Laura Beasons along with the Mangusos, Doug, and Alison. An excellent prime rib, mashed taters, sauteed asparagus, green salad and buns. Chocolate mousse for dessert. I made sea scallops with bacon and maple cream sauce for the appetizer course. Everything was very yummy.

We played a game after supper. Champagne and a variety of tasty reds.

Laura is getting all excited about the spring golf tournament in Casa Grande. She'll spend a few days at her condo in Palm Desert on both ends of the tourney.

I'm feeling a serious need to get out of this burg...
