Little Adobe 2016: Part iii

Yesterday we took a long walk along the other side of the coastal trail.
Lovers Point is our start point for everything since it's literally across the street from the Adobe.

Again, I apologize (not really) for all the coastal shots.
It's hard to capture the magic in photos but I hope you can feel a little of it?

It's stunning.
Simply stunning.
If you ever get a chance to come to this area you must stroll thru Pacific Grove and along the Coastal Trail.
Today we're going to be chill. We went into Carmel again yesterday. I hit the Carmel Road tasting room and picked up a bottle of Barrymore Pinot Grigio and a bottle of Barrymore Pinot Rose I also tasted them both. Delicious. Go buy some. Now. I'll wait. No I won't but you can order it online and it's super reasonably priced and a great great summer wine. Mom and I are going to enjoy some tonight with our grilled chicken, risotto, and fresh asparagus.

We'll probably wonder down to Asilomar and walk the big long beach. Visit with our friend Ruth and her daughter Sharon. Mom has some gardening she's doing around the Adobe. I've been taking her to all her favorite nurseries and such for plant material.

Tomorrow I'll do my best for some more interesting coastal shots?

this right here encompasses everything wild and beautiful about this area. succulents, cypress, stone cut by the constant water, ice plant dripping down the granite walls...

The PG parks department has done an amazing job with the beach access routes. Keeping in tune with the surrounding area... how amazing are these steps coming down??

its the end of ice plant blooming season here but there are still some beautiful blankets of it around...

My spirit animal...

On one of our visits Mom and I sat on this bench, drank some beer and had some sandwiches...

Whatcha thinking about Mr. PackRat? Guys... this is quite possibly the best photo i've ever done... LOL

Just stuff...

I wasn't ready for my headshot.

SSYC... My First Official Yarn Crawl...

It's true... I've never actually participated in a yarn crawl or LYS tour. When I worked at So Much Yarn I had the pleasure of working the weekend of the LYS Tour but I've never done it. Well, the SSYC, South Sound Yarn Crawl covers 9 shops that aren't included for whatever reason in the Seattle LYS Tour that covers around 25 shops in the area. Maybe they're too far off the beaten path. It's not because they aren't in Seattle because there are shops way way way out of town that are included in the Seattle LYS tour. Whatever the reason, it's not important. What is important is that Mary and I both took Friday off and hit the road. I caught the 7:15 Ferry to Kingston, Arrived at Mary's about 8:00. Mary and I have the same china. Mine came from my Grandmother, her's came from her mom. Tried making friends with her fluffy dog Mae. Someday she'll come to love me, for now I'll respect her tenative personality and love her fro...

Spring Cleaning = no VK Live

I don't get a cleaning bug often. I truly dislike it. I would rather knit than scrub a toilet or polish something... But it happens that I get the urge to purge (too much listening to the Top Gun soundtrack this weekend) and when the momentum is high and lasts three days I won't fight it... I can't. Plus I probably saved at least $250.00 by not going to a knitting expo! Have you ever done a big ruthless purge on your stuff? You can learn a lot about who you are or who you have been... 1. I apparently have an affection for lined notebooks and notepads considering I've counted 17 in my living room alone. 2. I easily have 50+ knitting books on my shelf and have only knit one pattern from one of them. 3. 2011 I was a grumpy snot at Christmas. So grumpy I didn't even open any Christmas cards. I didn't thrown them out either apparently... I'll open them later today. 4. My sister-in-law M gives me some pretty awesome gifts. Funny notebooks (o...

quirks, questions, and things best remembered......

1. Two bads never ever equal a better. 2. Muffins or Cupcakes I will always eat the top last. D thought it would be funny one time to teach me a lesson regarding this little nuance of my behavior, so at a party he sees my cupcake top sitting on my plate and he walks by and quick stuffs it in his mouth. He said it was to teach me a lesson, but I think we all know who learned a lesson that night. 3. While it is always to have good oral hygiene habits for both man and beast alike I would like to strongly caution you against keeping the beasts tooth paste next to your own toothpaste. Trust me when I say the beast will get much more enjoyment from your toothpaste gracing his brushes bristles than you will trying to do a massive mouthwash flush of poultry flavored peppermint paste. Learn from my mistake...... 4. I always feel sorry for people who I either happen to be talking to or emailing at the moment my medication kicks in. It can't be fun, but you all are such good sports about it. ...
