I've never lived anywhere else that I love so much. My sister from Houston was trying to get me to take a vacation with her. I told here that everyday here is a vacation. Why go anywhere else?

Your photos are incredible. When I first saw them, I thought they might be from Yachats.

If you have time, cruise that sweet little town. Lots of amazing cottage gardens and interesting ocean views with "blowholes". Thor's Well is the best known.

Yes, we save the bulbs. The stones are cement, but the glass inlay will crack. So they're not to be stepped on surfered Jul 2025 #17
