Weightlessly soaring, floating, at heart stopping height. Me too one day … I hope!
Zunday Zen … Springtime Splendor

Zunday Zen … My Suburban Oasis
Suburban oasis a breath of fresh air for body and soul. This beautiful nature park is a short walk from our house. There are miles of hiking trails across this extinct volcano and lava dome. We are fortunate here in the Pacific Northwest to have such an […]
Step right up! To the 3 Day Quote Challenge (Day3)
This is Day 3 of the 3 Day Quote Challenge! Little Sunshine challenged me to this, and I must say, it has been fun! These posts were different from what I usually do! It’s healthy to step outside one’s box every so often! The rules […]
Zunday Zen … Espresso or Cappuccino?
One Sunday morning we tried to shoo A pesky loud peacock all dressed in blue. We were thinking “What the heck Is he doing on our deck!?!” “Go on”, we laughed, “This coffee’s not for you!”

Almost missed it … The Quilcene Community Garden
Last week, we took a quick trip up to the Olympic Peninsula. This was my first visit the area, and one of my favorite sights along the way was this Community Garden in the small town of Quilcene, Washington. Just as I noticed it out […]
It’s (almost) always sunny in Palm Springs

Sun and Fun at the Sonoma County Fair
This summer, while visiting California, I got to enjoy the county fair with Rosalie and Ellya. One morning, the three of us climbed into the car and off we went! It was hot, the lines were long, but the excitement of seeing all the art, quilting, animal, […]
Farmers Markets, Cinnamon Rolls and, Yes! I am the boys’ mother …
While living in Windsor, California many years ago, the community started a weekly Farmers Market. Sunday mornings, rain or shine, my friend and I would meet on the Windsor Town Green. There were maybe around 4 or 5 growers selling their produce. The selection was limited, […]
The Natural Wonders of the Laguna de Santa Rosa
My annual road trip to California always takes me back to Sonoma County. Having lived there for many years, it still feels like home every time I visit. The area has grown quite a bit, since we left more than twelve years ago. I still […]
Don’t stop talking on my account…
This poem was inspired by one of the many hikes and explorations of Northern California my friend Greer and I have enjoyed over the years. Point Reyes is a spectacular place to go hiking. They also have a very affordable hostel, which costs a fraction of […]
