The Little Adobe: part iv


Okay. I know I've given you a lot of scenery.
Tons of scenery.
Stunning scenery shots.
Well...
I can't say that you aren't going to get that today as well but I did pull some photos from my iPhone so I'll mix it up a bit.

Also, we're headed to Big Sur today so I'll apologize in advance of the photos you'll get tomorrow. Maybe I'll be the weirdo who starts taking photos of her food so you guys don't get bored.

Oh and I am a knitter. Why are there no photos of yarn? I'll work on that too...

We took it fairly easy yesterday. Cruised over to Asilomar State Beach. Beautiful walking paths along the rocky coast that lead to a beautiful expanse of white sand beach and crashing waves.

And dogs.

Mom was in big dog heaven. Not a dog passed her that didn't get ear scratches and love from mom.

Let me tell you guys a not so big secret. Pacific Grove and Carmel are dog towns. They are everywhere and I would say 90% of them are rescues.


We then headed onto 17 Mile Drive to visit moms long time friend of 50 years. We visit Ruth every year. She's beautiful. The perfect lady with the best sense of humor. I love her.

Fresh strawberries and sweet peas that we picked up at the PG Farmers market. 

Swung into Carmel Road wine room in Carmel and picked up the Barrymore collaborations of Rose of Pinot Noir and a Pinot Grigio... I drank the whole bottle of Rose. It was amazing.  
one of these days. one of these days i'm going to learn that i need to either sunblock where i part my hair or remember to bring a hat. Well I had to buy a hat after I burned my scalp. I found the perfect one in Carmel. Sharks, waves, and my name. 


Moms La Crema Pinot and my Barrymore Rose of Pinot
















When we were kids cruising the beaches in Washington we would run up to the big pieces of kelp and pop those bulbs and laugh... if you hit it just right they make a glorious popping sound...

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...

I have officially been working from home. Staying home.  Self-Isolating.  Safe Distancing.  For three four months.  My last day at my office was March 12.  If I look back and track how this transition has gone it's roller coaster.  But if you really want an accurate accounting of how my time has been spent These pictures sum it all up Thank you Anna Hrochavec for your amazing inspiring patterns Happy End of June.
