Sierra Birthday





Tuesday was my birthday and Mr. B and I decided that we very much needed a break from staying at home so we drove up to Lake Tahoe for the day.  We packed a picnic lunch and headed to the mountains. 

My birthday surprises were:

1. Spending the entire day with my love - Mr. B
2. The smell of fresh mountain air - pine trees and crisp air
3. The parking lot at the beach was opened that day so we didn't have to haul all of our stuff from the highway.
4. I found a heart shaped rock within minutes of getting there
5. A bald eagle flew over us on the beach
6. We also had a fly over by the Blue Angels (not really them but military planes that sounded loud)
7. We had wine, chocolate and strawberries
8. It was a beautiful warm day with very cold Tahoe water!
9. We picked up dinner on the way home - Yum!
10. We both got burnt to a crisp!!! Peeling to come later....

PS - It had snowed at lake level two days earlier....

Carmel Face

Song - I've Just Seen A Face by The Beatles




Happy pup with a big stick (possibly a log) on the beach at Carmel.

Thanks for the song idea Gwen ;-)

Inspired



The events of the last few weeks coupled with the events of the last few months have caused me to reconsider my blog. My blog felt insincere and it lacked gravity.What was I doing posting photos of flowers and birds when so many of us are hurting. Does anyone even care to see yet another photo of a cottage in England or a bee on a flower?


I do

My soul needs it





We all need beauty in our lives otherwise what are we fighting so hard for?


I need both the silliness of squirrels running up and down my tree AND I need to feel the gravity of this moment in time. 

I enjoy imparting interesting quotes and songs that bring us back to a moment in time.
So I will continue my blog until all of you shout STOP we can't take it anymore!
