A Day for Eagles

 I started my day by going to Two Sisters Bakery for my Friday fix of Chocolate Bread. I am limiting myself to once per week, it is really hard to do as they are so good.

I spotted an eagle soaring over Bishop’s Beach, I took my chocolate bread down there and ate it. The eagle had left so I drove out to the Spit.

My first stop did not prove fruitful, so I headed to the my second spot. I found a couple of eagles and watched them, when they got close enough I was able to get some good shots. As I drove to the end of the Spit I encountered an eagle sitting in a puddle and captured a few shots of it.

It was very cloudy with bouts of snow flurries and gusts of wind. It was cold so I went to “Vida” a Thai restaurant and ordered some Mongolian Beef to take home for lunch. It will also be my dinner.

Tide Pool Survey

Went out to the Homer Spit for the low tide survey. Joined a group of people and we had two biologists to guide us. Although, it was snowing we had good time.

The Toilet Broke

 No, I didn’t break it. A part in the tank decided it was a good day to start leaking.

We were headed to town today to run some errands, so added a trip to the hardware store for replacement parts.

After a haircut, not mine, we met a friend for lunch. Had a great turkey sandwich at the Captain’s Coffee Roasting Company. I ate half and took the other half home. 

We then headed to the dump to empty all the trash and recycling.

After returning home I went to work fixing the toilet, it is now working again.

As I was doing that my sister and her friend sat and drank mimosas.

That was pretty much our day, hope to get some pictures tomorrow.
