Evening dinner at Solana Beach Fish House. Hubby says they have the best “fish & chips,” me, I enjoy their grilled fish tacos. Yummy food, lovely evening.

Sweetness
Late afternoon walk on the land
finds us checking new growth on plants,
contemplating irragation schedules.
The orange globes dot the tree.
We know, soon they will be ready
for harvest.
Suddenly the air around is filled with
heavenly perfume. The little white
stars of the tree are releasing their fragrance.
Orange blossoms, with the promise of
next year’s fruit, fill the air with the
scent of sweet perfume.
We forget all else as this lofty
scent fills us up. A great promise of
hope and good things to come.
Such a welcome treat for us.
A reminder to savor the
natural gifts of each day.

Twists and Turns
Life, the twists and turns.
In the midst of the journey

The challenge is to enjoy the journey.
Diversion
Just a little diversion for your day. Enjoy.
Bushy Tail
What a surprise! Snapped his picture as he was looking in the kitchen window. Perhaps looking for a warm location.
Home Again
Home again…after spending a week in Minnesota cold, where we enjoyed family togetherness, good food, laugher, holiday lights, and lots of family game time.
Today, the postman delivered this to to us,
so we can continue a German tradition at our house.
More fun times to come.
Happy New Year!
A change of scenery, a little different view.
Best wishes for the new year from me to you!
Merry Christmas
From our house, to yours.
Merry Christmas and best wishes to you and those you hold dear.
Time or Timeless
I may be writing, or marketing the latest writing project, yet life goes on. That means getting ready for Christmas, and taking care of things on the property.
Time marches on, yet my hubby finished a project we’ve been brainstorming for several years. I am so delighted.
When we purchased the house, we gained an old cooktop. In its day, it had some interesting features. But compared to today’s cooktops, it was archaic and a gigantic step backward from what we previously owned. It was a twilight time for us. Thinking of changing it created many challenges. We did not want to switch out the countertop but knew that might be a last resort. The downdraft fan was more efficient than current models. With much research and some design ingenuity, my hubby solved the problem. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome.
Below are a before and an after photo.
…and now…
And life will continue to march on.
During this holiday season, I trust you will find moments of quiet celebration in your days.
