small pleasures along the road of life.
i spotted this monarch caterpillar munching on some milkweed, not in my garden alas, but that will come soon enough. for now i will study the others i happen upon.
seaside gardens! who knew? i never knew of its existence until this, my 959th visit to carpinteria. it is splendid! you must go. you must. you will! it’s a nursery, but also has beautiful gardens. more on my visit in an upcoming post.
for now, let me open the door to my hideaway and get unpacked.
the air is cool, the stars are bright, the trees are tall.
i have mischief to make.
Hum..This summer I stopped and stayed in Pismo Beach and Santa Barbara. I stopped in at The Sacred Space on my way south. Next time will have to make a stop it Carpenteria! I love the Central Coast of California.
Ooooh a mischief store! I’ll have some please. Extra dollop of zany and a side of practical jokes. Yum.
Can’t wait for the big reveal–where are you?! I went to a travel sketchbooks exhibition in Clermont-Ferrand, France, last weekend–surely you know it, as it’s the headquarters of Michelin tires 😉 ! That made me just want to go away and draw and paint and glue stuff into my journals . . . Alas, neither the French nor the Swiss are big on American Thanksgiving!
How wonderful! So much to be thankful for. Mischief make away!
