Beautiful sunny Saturday morning! (In honor of Miss Angel and her most amazing birthday??) I biked to Crixa Cakes, and as the tables outside were in shade, I had my tea in a sunny patch under a redwood tree nearby. Pumpkin pie, too, because I am keeping up in my New Years resolution to eat cake, [...]

Elly & I made our annual pilgrimage to Theatre of Dreams in Port Costa. Heartbreakingly lovely, I wish I could move to this little town and make beautiful things all day!! This puppet is a shadow marionette! A little gastropod friend. A garland of gilded leaves. No hands, only stars. Many try to copy Wendy’s magic & glitter, but they [...]

Megalithic Portals on Google Earth. I feel like i’m having a heart attack over this. (Do you know that feeling?) I know I’m slow to the game here! But this is amazing!! It’s all of them. I can zoom in to the ones in Vermont I mentioned in the last post, and England is just [...]
