Day 12.178: Exile #2's Sunday Column #255

Exile #2 writes...

Today was my birthday and it just so happened that everyone was off work, so after some present opening and blueberry muffins we went for a gentle stroll on the beach at Camp Ellis. It was perfect - not too hot, after some mighty storms yesterday.



We came back for lunch and to recharge a little, then we went to Gilsland Farm Audubon Center for another walk. We saw butterflies in the meadows, heard a bullfrog in fine voice, and had a close encounter with a turkey and an oriole.




We headed into Portland for dinner at our favorite Chinese restaurant, then, finally, treated ourselves to a little gelato (lavender honey and espresso chip for me - yum!).


Thank you for the many lovely birthday wishes. It was a very enjoyable day.
