River Otter near Good Haven House

Yesterday, Peter and I were coming over the causeway on the way home from walking Sophie, and a river otter ran across the road about 15 feet in front of us on the way from the bay to the bayou. We were so surprised. I didn't even know there were otters in our neck of the woods! Very exciting, had to share.

See you at the beach,
Susan

Diamond Days



A friend told me that his father used to call days like today (52 degrees, not a cloud in the sky with a bit of a breeze) diamond days because the wind ruffling up the water made it sparkle like diamonds. 
I just love that.

The beach is good even on 'diamond days'.

The Pelican Drop again lights up downtown Pensacola on New Year’s Eve, welcoming the arrival of 2012.

Be always at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let each new year find you a better man.  -Benjamin Franklin

Happiest of New Years

Hope to see you at the beach in 2012,
