SQUIRRELY TIMES~Self Care 2026; Castle Rock-WA

November 4th: Sometimes you just need a day to take a Slow Day. It's been a bit overwhelming here 😱, lately, with waiting for the situation concerning Independence taken care of - and wrapped up; hopefully before Winter arrives 🀨

First off, I made an appointment in Castle Rock, to get my hair shortened & shagged πŸ’‡‍♀️πŸ“±πŸ’¬

To Haircut Express, #161 Huntington Ave N, Castle Rock-WA from Toutle River RV Resort, #150 Happy Trails Rd, Castle Rock-WA; via Old Pacific Hwy N~7 min (3.8 miles)
Getting my hair shortened, today.
Much better! Trying hair mousse, too.

Then, because I had earlier promised Bleu a walk in the Park πŸΎπŸŒ³πŸ‚πŸšΆ‍♀️... I drove back home, collected him πŸš˜πŸ•, and drove over the Hazel Dell backroad from Castle Rock to Lexington, Kelso.

The Day was perfect for walking in the Park.

Bleu was enjoying his scentsory exploration.

Squirrels were abundant … but, I doubt Bleu even acknowledged them since his nose was glued to the ground in front of him at every turn.

By the time we got to the end of this short trail walk & caught sight of Betsy parked in the distance - he was ready to call it a Day: even though he was enjoying himself, he is not used to a mile of walking. So, I took mercy on him & came back home.

A heart! A sign that Elohim is shifting things in my favor.

There were squirrels everywhere … I don't think Bleu noticed any of them.
At this point, Bleu was more than ready to end the walk; LOL
A good stretch of our legs - but more than Bleu is used to.

Back home, I got supper cooked/dished up πŸ₯§ … and Bleu drifted away into dreamland πŸ’€

Today, despite the squirrelliness of insurance keeping us waiting on tenterhooks; was a good Day.

Fallen pinecones - and crisp, crunchy leaves rustling across the grassy fields.

Frisky, cute, squirrely squirrels 🐿️

Pleasant Autumn vibes.

A warm, furry, companion - for relaxing walks & evening cuddles ❤️

A comfy home, with a tasty homestyle meal baking.

Lots to be grateful for ☝️ πŸ™ 

And I am 😘
