Raining in Shell Beach

Hi to all. It is raining here today, Friday.  I went kayaking by myself on Sunday and it was sunny and very warm. The ocean was very calm and I paddled up to two fat otters.  Next month the seals will have their pups.   It is very cool to see them in the wild.  The Bull Seals are wintering over near Hearst Castle at the beach. They already have their babies and the males fight like crazy to show their dominance. The monarch butterflies are about ready to leave for their next journey. These butterflies live the longest here in Pismo Beach. The other ones die along the way after they lay their eggs. It is a wonder of science how the monarchs know their path when they never make the entire journey.  Now youve had your nature lesson for the day:) You are welcome to visit and see what we have around here.  As some of you know we also have the hot springs (ok another nature lesson). Now you see why I love living here. I found my first boyfriend on facebook and told him how sweet, respectful and fun he was. He said I was his first love.  My first love was one of my camp counselors.  Valentines day: gave chocolates to the ladies at work, sent valentine cards to my girlfriends, got a sweet card from Phil & Laurie, and I ate lots of chocolate! Hope yours was filled with love too. Remember Love is a Verb.
