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.

The 'To-Do' list...

and by 'to-do' list I mean 'to-knit' list. I'm really really trying to get on track with this list and stay deeply focused. It has helped that I have successfully removed all yarn from the living room and into Mr. Brown's Yarn shop on the second floor. Except for the fact that I went in there the other day with a shopping bag and loaded up. Currently in the sidelines to be finished 1. Ledge Trail Vest 2. Twiggy for me 3. 70 Yard Mitt for my other hand Finished those bad boys last night! this is what happens when you use the 10s burst hands free option on your iphone and you're holding said phone with your chinny chin chin. On the List: 1. Twiggy for a Christmas gift 2. Iris the Gourmet Monster but since it's for a boy I'm calling it Orvil. 3. Great White Shart Shark 4. Bosco - for me 5. Stillhouse Vest - for me 6. Woodsy - for me 7. Three Seahawk themed hats as gifts. 8. Gifts for friends... and on and on and on If you...

Finished Object

I'm not good at keeping surprises a secret...I get so excited that I usually blow it. Well not this time... I knit this sweater for Bump and had the buttons custom madefor it by Buttons by Robin, a wonderful shop on Etsy... She used a photo of Rupert that I emailed her...Rupert is their (Bump, C & M's) family dog... I couldn't post a photo until they had received the sweater which arrived on their doorstep last night... Oh how I wish I could have been there when they got it! It turned out amazing! Pattern: Baby Sophisticate Yarn: Big tweedy Cashmere (lucky boy) Please check out Robin's shop on Etsy I know you'll find buttons you love and she does amazing work!

W.I.P

Bears Barn Owl. We had a hockey game last night and while I'm normally so wrapped up in the game that I don't have time to knit, that was not the case last night. Silvertips have had a rough go and the Red Deer Rebels really wolloped them last night. So I knit. I ate some dingleberries. Delicious. and I knit some more. I have a feeling I'll be finishing this bad boy up by tomorrow and he'll be the star of the retreat. Isn't his color wonderful?
