Nothing happened Monday at the house, primarily because we are waiting for permits/inspections today. But a friend of mine is stranded in the UK, and she's using this as one of her diversions. She knows who she is, and she knows why this picture (taken January when I visited my brother & nephew in Hawaii) is just for her. I hear that they are starting to fly again over there...hope you get home soon & safely, Honu!

Cy turned one last week, and in honor of his first birthday I made him a friend. Cy's developed an even more deep love of water now that they're living in Hawaii, he's even started "swimming" and "boogie boarding." He does know how to hold his breath underwater, and loves the ocean. If only he wasn't so far away!

On My Way From Work - Best Of


Gopher Snake

This afternoon on the way to the car I came across this guy (girl?) sitting in the middle of the road. He/she didn't seem too bothered by my presence, and was in no hurry to leave the sunny warm asphalt. I'm guessing it was a gopher snake, about 16 inches long. Cute little bugger.

Knitting with Lambs

Dana had a bunch of us over at the house where her family keeps their sheep and two small lambs. It turns out that Dan (not Dana) always wanted to be a sheep farmer, and was quite good at corralling the lambs and picking them up. They were less than thrilled, but they tolerated it. We spent the rest of the afternoon knitting & noshing, along with four beagles and Dana's three big rescue dogs.

We had the afternoon off before heading back home from our conference in Boston. I elected to head over to my favorite Boston museum, the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, a beautiful old home full of all kinds of art from her life of collecting. You can't take pictures inside, but on my way over I ran into this guy. Cute, isn't he?

On My Way To Work

How many people see this when they're walking from their car to work?















In case you're unfamiliar with our East Bay Goats, they mow the hillsides. A great sustainable way to reduce fire danger (and cute, too!).
