It was cold this morning, down to 32 F when I got up about 6:30 and it still 42 F at 9:30 am but I went on my walk anyhow.  I just put on a few layers of clothes and a warm jacket and off I went.  I walked down to Pebble Beach since I hadn’t been down there since getting back from Thailand.  I walked past Margaret and Jack’s house and picked up Mosquito and Blue.  They are always ready for a  walk with anyone.

Pebble Beach has really changed.  I guess the last big rain caused all of the stones or pebbles to wash down river or to the left as you walk down the path.

 

If you look closely, you can see the path that we take going down to Pebble Beach.  The area directly in front used to be all Pebbles and it would run to the left and the right of the path.

Now most of the pebbles are to the left and only a few are to the right.

Most of the pebbles are in a big pile to the left of the path

Of course Blue had to get in the water regardless of how cold it was, he doesn’t feel the cold.  He kept whining at me to throw a rock so he could go chase it but he was wet enough.  Besides he likes to come out of the water and stand next to you and shake.  I wasn’t falling for that trick.

Mosquito was there but not in the water.  He is too smart for that.

On the way back I saw this Christmas Cactus

I think it is too late for the Chili Petines this year.  I have seen a lot of plants with Chili Petines on them but they are all dried up.  I guess the first freeze got to them.
