Park It

As part of my Sonoma adventure over the weekend, C and I visited the Jack London State Historic Park. It was really magnificent, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for something a little different but equally as beautiful as the usual vineyard experience. It also helps if you like history and reading...but even if you're not familiar with Jack London (eh hem), you should still go because it's gorgeous and we have to keep up our state parks!

Wine Me + Dine Me

Here are is the first post in a series of photos I took over the weekend in wine country, aka the-place-to-go-for-summer-weather-when-you-call-San-Francisco-home. Hot sun, cold drinks

"And that's how you remove the plug with the flick of your wrist." Although, sometimes it slips and rolls into the gravel...but that's for another time.

Summer Psych-Out

As I mentioned on Friday, the weather took a turn for the amazing, and for 72 glorious hours, I believed it was summer. I picnicked at Lafayette Park, laid in the sun with a good book and a cold drink, dug into a juicy watermelon, and grilled artichokes on the BBQ. I even attempted mini golf, but found the weather too hot to chase a ball around the astroturf.

But alas, like every weekend reminds us, all good things must come to an end. And so I emerged from my apartment this morning, hot drink in hand and with a scarf around my neck, to find that it was only a dream. So please enjoy the scant photographic evidence I managed to capture of our early summer mirage. With any luck, maybe I’ll drift back into the same dream next weekend…

So Long, Summer

I thought I'd post a few of my favorite recent summery shots in honor of the waning season.

Fresh vegies + herbs!




Homemade smoothies with local berries


Yummy frittata with garden-grown (err...window box-grown) herbs

Melting popsicles

Lawn lounging

Looking forward to Fall next, and that's not just because I've been lusting after these boots...
