As I get older I become more set in my ways. Some are tolerable, as viewed by others, something I often find amusing. However, parts of me, huge parts are more personal. I view these as having been with me for a lifetime. In other words they seem so entrenched in my being it would [...]

Morning Beach Walk
Posted in Inspiration, Memories, Nature, Places, Seasons on April 16, 2010 | 20 Comments »
When I am in Mendocino, I start every morning with a walk down to the headlands and across to the stairs down to the beach. No matter what the weather: sun, clouds, pouring rain, or wild winds, I am destined for the beach. It is the one constant in my routine when I am here. [...]
Mendocino Time

We traveled back to Mendocino, California yesterday from Portland, Oregon, a twelve hour drive with stops for gas, rest rooms, and a picnic lunch. The three cats in their cages were so well-behaved this time. I think they knew they were headed to the place they love most. I took this photo just as we [...]
Celebrating Life

I have been thinking a lot lately about colors in our lives, and primarily what colors we choose for our clothing. On my morning walks, I have been inspired by all the natural and vibrant colors in all the spring flowers. Tulips seem to be blooming in everyone’s gardens and now the wisteria hanging over [...]

A skirt

I finished the skirt late Friday afternoon, and silly me, after it was done, I was thinking how great this would have looked on Vanessa Bell with a paintbrush in hand and a canvas in front of her or Virginia Woolf seated at her desk, pen in hand, writing her journal or finishing the last [...]

I am not a huge fan of flying. I have had this fear ever since I can remember. However, once the plane is steadied and I look around and see people relaxing, then I begin to relax and enjoy the mental space. My habit is to pick up a book and read for as long [...]

New York City sunset from Central Park My husband and I returned Monday evening to be greeted by our oldest daughter who had dinner waiting and a glass of wine. How nice to return home to a warm house with the lights on and the cats happy and a special greeting. Usually we arrive home [...]
