Calm Blue Ocean

“Calm Blue Ocean” - it’s the family mantra we use to re-center when we feel anxious, or when we just need to cool our jets a bit. I’ve been saying it a lot lately…for both reasons. Akin to the frog boiling in water, I don’t realize how edgy, sedentary and people-hating I get when immersed in the OC stew too long. Simply put, Hummingbird Ranch is my happy place.

The rain we’ve been getting is definitely needed and appreciated, but does thwart efforts to go north. As mentioned before, mud+dog+trailer is annoying, and until things are dried out a bit, we are Bubble bound - and, yes, I know how lucky I am to reside in such a fabulous bubble...

Until I’m back, boots on the ground, I will utter “Calm Blue Ocean” and transport myself to my temple of serenity through images. Thank you for reading Hummingbird Rancher - the fact that you care enough to read, subscribe and sometimes comment remains a joy. Sorry for being cranky.
