i just returned from a trip to california. we drove south from san francisco one day and i was blown away by the ocean side farms. that’s my kind of farming!
ten feet from these fields was this breathtaking view. what a nice place e to take a little dip after a hard day’s work.
the previous owner of our property had a tendency to wander in the woods looking for indian artifacts. he was also known to shoot tadpoles in the creek,and there’s quite a few bullet holes in the roof of the idea shack. between that and the knotholes gone out of the wooden walls, there’s always lots of lovely dots of light coming in. at night, the holes in the roof look like stars. here’s some beauty…
when i saw my first green tomato appear this year, i was inspired to watch the movie, “fried green tomatoes”. it has been years since i have watched the film and it was just as good as i remembered it.
this inspired a whole fried green tomatoes weekend. we headed to juliette, where the movie was filmed. it was fun to visit and see some of the details of the movie still in place. we of course stopped by the whistlestop cafe and had some fried green tomatoes.
it was a fun little day trip- enjoy!
i was just revisiting photographs from our wedding day and needed to share. two years ago yesterday, we tied the knot!
i still can’t believe how amazing the flowers were! all of the flora used was found in our yards, gardens, or the side of the road. peaches…marigolds…geraniums…magnolias…fig branches…thistle…zinnias…dill…fennel…queen anne’s lace…and much more.
the arrangements were made by my lovely friends; rinne, rebecca, and kathryn and were scattered throughout.
the memories from our wedding day keep getting more beautiful with time… click on the pictures below for easy viewing
