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.

Knitter Down...I Repeat, We Have a Knitter Down...

It's probably not that dramatic, well maybe it is, who can say for sure....but I can say this, right now from my elbow to my wrist is some gnarly pain that was flared last night after knitting 6 rows of the Shawl...SIX ROWS and then WHAMMO! so much pain. This isn't the first day I've had this, I've actually been ignoring for a few days ...okay, I've been ignoring it for a couple weeks but this is the worst it's been...So, I've made inquiries as to which doctor to see and am waiting to hear back to make an appointment...while I wait ice packs, and copious amounts of pain meds (don't worry by copius I really mean, recommended daily dose) are being taken with the shedding of a few tears while I fondle my knitting... stay tuned...this can't possibly last forever xoxoxo c. p.s. Fati...don't worry I have a plan if this whole wrist issues blows out of control...

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?

The countdown...

The Elbow has taken things a little to far. After three cortisone shots, icing, and squeezing exercises, it's just not behaving... Tuesday I went into the MRI tube do the Doc H. Could get a good look at what's going on...wear and tear is what's going on and it's only getting worse.. I can keep getting shots of cortisone but eventually they'll stop being as effective. Surgery will be the best option. That's right. SURGERY Wanna know the worst part? Recovery can take up to five months Five Months 5 FIVE months of no knitting... . . . I'll give you a second to get up off the floor... . . . You read that again didn't you? . . . my friend MzKimba has graciously offered to take care of my stash. However I think I'll just pack it all up and store it somewhere safe till I get the all clear from Doc H. Now all this being said, I have projects that need to be completed, so I'm going to try and schedule the surgery for som
