i'm home!
not only did i forget my camera adaptor i also brought my ipod charger instead of my iPAD charger. hah. it does sort of work. but i don't recommend it.
i motored home in the early afternoon through pastoral scenes of old california. the hwy 150 route through the mountains & valleys is quite simply, breathtaking. breathstealing.
scenes i inadequately captured on my camera. the photo above is actually just a few miles from the cabin on hwy 33.
i also saw a lovely heron when i first arrived on friday at sundown. he was standing on a rock in the creek just below me. i watched him for awhile – until he flew off. amazing to see such a BIG bird take flight. i took a picture in my mind.
the love shack has only slightly less square feet than moss cottage. so i feel right at home puttering around inside of its smallness.
i ventured out onto the suspension bridge near the cabin this time. but only a little ways.
spent a lot of good time listening to the creek. and reading. and writing. and stargazing.
i'm sorry it's over so soon. but not sorry to be home with catboy & catgirl.
If you fancy a cabin stay of your own you can check it out HERE.

I read that book, picked it up at the dollar store of all places, and really liked it. I always come back to your blog, it is like an old friend 🙂

Such sweet bliss!!!! What a treasured place to kick back, soak in and absorb. I remember with fondness your last venture here. I was tucked away, hiding in a corner and enjoyed every moment. I remained quiet so as not to startle you by my presence. I am so glad you share your journey’s with us here. I’ve traveled a lot since discovering your blog so many moons ago and dropping in for a cupa and some relaxation is always something I look forward to each day!!!!!

Loved our weekend, I feel more relaxed. I really wish I could visit there one day and who knows maybe I will. Glad your back and thanks for taking me on your trip.

Thank you Mary Ann for sharing the cabin info……it’s a bit pricey when one does not have a job but it’s on my list

ok…crazy! I just was just saying “Home again, Home Again, Jiggety Jig” last night as we arrived back from the SAME area! (My kids think I’m crazy when I say that by the way – glad someone else says it too, lol). We had a great time doing that funky train ride over in Fillmore (near Ojai). Such an interesting area -you’re right. My son goes to college at CSUCI and we’re looking forward to doing more exploring in “the VC” soon~

Now I’m seriously considering a trip to the Love Shack; it seems like the perfect place to disconnect with the outside world and reconnect with oneself!

I explored the cabin website and fell in love–what a perfect place!!! Not practical for a long weekend getaway for me so I think I’ll look for a place in TN. I can definitely see why you find that place so rejuvenating!!
