Fat Fish and Cougar Sightings

We have been informed that on Tuesday in Ocean Shores, it was sunny all day again, but the faithful keeper spent time in the library trying to post our blog (she quit when the wi-fi stopped working). She said as she had breakfast on the deck she was kept company by a big fat fish which she could see through the clear water. It kept circling the dock. Good bugs? She had plans to hike through the Weatherwax Trails till she got there and saw a posting on the entry board—cougar sightings... so, even though she loves felines, she headed to the beach instead There she became so lost reading The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao that she didn’t notice the tide rushing in, and almost was inundated, not once, but twice.

The evening was so mild that she lay on the dock until the darkness finally fell with her camera waiting for the otters to swim to their night nests. But the otters must have stayed out later, or perhaps they dropped in on the City Council meeting. However, two raccoons greeted her in the yard and rushed into the bushes.
