The moon rose on May 30 so low to the sky, it was hard to capture. Brilliant orange gold light so clear you could see the craters on the moon. The next night it rose on the actual full moon so blood red I could see why they called it the strawberry moon. We wereContinue reading “STRAWBERRY MOON OF JUNE”

TRAVELS UP HIGHWAY 1 CALIFORNIA
Since March, I have wanted to drive up Highway 1 from Cambria to Carmel. We finally went and picked a beautiful weekend without fog. We started out in Paso Robles visiting friends and left in the afternoon for Cambria. We hit a lucky patch of weather without any fog until the early morning. It wasContinue reading “TRAVELS UP HIGHWAY 1 CALIFORNIA”
THE MERRY MONTH OF MAY
I love May. I start the day singing the May song from Camelot. It is the best time of year to me. Everything is blooming, the sun is up earlier and sets later. It just feels joyous and makes me jump out of bed in the morning. You want to get outside and experience everything.Continue reading “THE MERRY MONTH OF MAY”
THE HILLS ARE ALIVE
We are now in mid-February and finally got some rain on Monday. After three weeks of warm 70’s -80’s, it was a nice break in the pattern. Driving along the freeway, the hills have come to life with yellow mustard and Bush sunflower or encilia californica. I took this picture of the encilia growing inContinue reading “THE HILLS ARE ALIVE”
LATE JANUARY
To coin the phrase used with March, January came in like a lion and went out like a lamb. The weather was so glorious mid-January, I had to go for a walk on the beach. The slough at the end of the beach is a great place for seabirds. My friend and I were walkingContinue reading “LATE JANUARY”
OCTOBER’S SONG
In October I feel the need to rush, get up early, but not too early because its dark now. I rush to get things done in the garden; look it is 6 pm and you can see it’s getting dark. I feel the push to be home. In summer, even when it is dark, itsContinue reading “OCTOBER’S SONG”
SEPTEMBER IS GONE
HERE IS A RECAP I didn’t get a chance to post in September before leaving. Our weather from the end of August through the first 10 days of September was hot and humid. We lost electric on the hottest day in August, right when my kitchen was being painted. Flash forward to Labor Day weekend,Continue reading “SEPTEMBER IS GONE”
SUMMER CLOUDS
I decided to take my own advice and take some time to relax at the beach. Its was later afternoon, but absolutely a stunning day at the beach. I looked up and saw these clouds right in front of me. I thought to myself, it’s a dragon and a centipede squaring off. Underneath, another cloudContinue reading “SUMMER CLOUDS”
JUNE
They say, “Cute as a June bug,” but let me tell you, there is nothing cute about June bugs. They bombard the screen all night and you have to sweep them away in the morning. June is typically the month of fog known as June gloom, following May grey. The fog persists so much thatContinue reading “JUNE”
IT’S MAY, IT’S MAY, THE LOVELY MONTH OF MAY
May is the most excellent month. We start May 1st with flowers as the blooms arrive. May grey started off the month. So cold and damp was it that we needed a fire two nights in a row to keep warm. We often light a fire outside for May Day but this year it wasContinue reading “IT’S MAY, IT’S MAY, THE LOVELY MONTH OF MAY”
