About Me
- Gannet Girl
- Gannets are enormous and sleek creamy-white seabirds, with black wingtips, yellow heads and necks, and startlingly outlined eyes. They nest on the rocky cliffs of the European and North American coasts of the North Atlantic and, once grown, spend their days sailing across the ocean. The acrobatics by which they make their living ~ steep climbs into the air and speedy plunges straight into the sea ~ are rivaled only by those of pelicans. What better metaphor for a sweeping search of one's life choices and opportunities than a gannet extended above the waves, a regal and yet restless surveyor of the vast ocean surface? The gannet reminds us that life is an adventure in both beauty and profound unease, and that the sea itself is limitless in its textures and possibilities.

Your birthday?
Ah, first day of Fall, we like to toast it with wine if we have any and if dh is actually in town, lol! Our weather has been gorgeous. ENJOY!!!!
Is that what it is, the Fall Equinox? I'm so ignorant...
Happy Autumnal Equinox to you too!!! It's my least favorite because the days are getting darker at the fastest rate but it is my favorite because fall is such a great season. It feels more like summer here today!
