I've missed you...

Were you wondering where I went? I didn't fall of the face of the earth but I did take a few much needed days to rest and be quiet. The first days of my new commute and time in the office were much more challenging than I thought they would be.

The music man had a couple shows in Julian, a town in the mountains of San Diego over the long holiday weekend. This weekend was booked well in advance and we took our camping trailer. When planning for the weekend I had visions of adventuring their countryside with my hiking tennies and camera in hand

As it turns out I didn't hike or take many photos other than the band shots. There was no Internet.  I unplugged, rested and soaked in nature. On one side of this fence there was a pasture with horses, the other our campsite.  Exactly the kind of medicine I needed. Life is so good!

Since my last post...
The babies who are now teenagers have visited with the big girls in the play yard. It didn't go well so we'll continue to monitor them during play time. I hope they work it out soon, they are getting so big and will need more room.

I received a large print order of my photos, I am thrilled and very proud of how they turned out.  I plan on framing them for a showing later in the year.

My sweet brown dog had a birthday last Friday and is now 12 years old!  We sang to him all day and thought it was a real big deal. He didn't.

I sure love him.

I found some hidden Brussel Sprouts in the garden that the squirrels haven't demolished.   I have a few green beans that survived and the tomato plants are doing well too.  Apparently they don't like them, lucky me. Things are looking up in the garden and I can almost taste some Caprese Salad, yum! My favorite summer food.

How was your weekend? I am looking forward to catching up with you all.

Happy Monday!
