seeking the wild of the everyday

so glad to be alive!

our very first game of parchisi, in the farm house.
 the birthday trip babymoon adventure:
we stayed at jughandle creek farm, a wonderfully wild and cozy sort of old place, complete with farmhouse, cottages, a light house, learning gardens to eat from, funky beach towns and trails all around.
at first i uploaded 31 pictures, and then reconsidered. it was so beautiful and lush there, with coastal flowers in full temperate bloom.

thank you momma, for watching teddy. :)

yummy mustard greens from the garden

spores!

our little house in a green jungle.


mendocino: where we can't hide our touristy selves and buy expensive pastries.

this trail calls to us

the best kind of rest in a sunny spot

low tide at sunset! time for tide pooling!

anemones, sea stars, little groupers, etc...it was a choice tide pooling spot

scrambling as we find more pools


GLASS BEACH!!! who knew anyone could get so excited over a former dump?

 treasure hunting unlimited.
oh l'amour, the memories.
