The walk into Pismo Beach was just about the perfect length - just over 2 miles each way. It was a very pleasant walk along the boardwalk through the dunes, and then the trail through the State park (passing the butterfly grove) and finally the sidewalks through town.
I looked at real estate prices on Zillow - you don't even want to know how much little bungalows like these go for (over $400k). This one was very well kept.
Is nothing sacred? Magnolia trees belong in the south!
Everywhere, there were murals painted on the buildings which added a nice whimsical touch to the beach atmosphere.
A lot of folks "painted" their yards with flowers. There was quite a variety and beautiful colors. I guess there are flowers that bloom year round in the mild coastal climate.
This hummingbird has become a regular fixture on our walks into town - always on the same fence near the same flowers.
The clam festival was over so the giant concrete clam was painted for Halloween. What will they do after that? We should be here to find out - we will post the next clam outfit later.
Since the butterfly grove is just off of the path from town, we checked the butterflies again - not really much change in the butterflies or the weather. We will stop in again often.
The new refrigerator part (the control thermistor) arrived. I snapped it in place and checked what I could. The unit started operating normally (no more back-up mode). I will keep my fingers crossed to see if it completes a 12-hour cycle with no issues!
