Spring break wouldn't be complete without a trip to the beach! 



Wild nasturtium's at Montana de Oro State Park!  So beautiful.



Crazy clouds before the storm rolled in.



Morro Rock!  (view from Los Osos)

 

Love this Bixby Bridge, built in 1931-32.  Always worth a stop, while travelling up and down Hwy. 1.



Just look at that blue ocean!  Oh California, I do love you!

Way up high

View from part way up the mountain, yesterday.   Brrrr, it was so cold, but we still had a ton of fun with our awesome friends.  We had a picnic, we hiked, we climbed, we had fun!

Lovely November, how beautiful thou art!

Still hanging on and not ready to Fall!

What I've been up to

Sorry for the lack of posts!  Back to school time is always busy!!  Lots going on!





Date night with my hunny.....we took pizza to the top of the mountain and enjoyed the sunset together!  Can you see the shadow of Mt. Diablo off in the distance!?!  Pretty cool, hey!





Looking down on the bay!  Sunset is so gorgeous up here....all the purples, golds, bronze, blue lighting.



Sunday naps on a warm day. 



I love looking at and laying on my new prism pillow, using mostly Anna Maria Horner fabrics, and her awesome new pattern, you can find here!

One more trip before school starts!

Just a tiny little bit of what I've been up to! 

Enjoying the beautiful city!

Today we woke up this morning and decided to go to Chinatown and do a little shopping on Maiden Lane.  Have you ever been to Maiden Lane? Talk about perfect weather in the city!  Sunny, breezy, not too hot, not too cold. 







 









BRITEX!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this four story fabric store!  It's a sewers dream!  Beautiful fabrics imported from all over the world, notions of every imaginable kind....ribbons, braid, buttons, you name it, they have it!  Could have stayed all day in that store.

Super weekend!

Super moon, on Cinco de Mayo!





Hiking straight up a steep hill, to see this view!
