Yarn Bomb

My first yarn bomb sighting in front of Hollywood Hatters on Melrose Ave. Inspiring.

Our Neighborhood is Getting Wile E.

How sad. It's been quite hot lately and I think the coyotes come down out of the hills looking for water. Or cats.

It's a good thing we don't have any road runners in this neighborhood, imagine the hijinks that would ensue - explosions, anvils crashing and sleepless nights.

Summer on the Central Coast

We had an incredible time last Saturday night at the Fratelli Perata Winery's Buon Amici Wine Club dinner (al fresco) where each course was matched brilliantly with their excellent wines. It was magical, the weather was perfect and the moon was SO bright.

As an added bonus, the winery arranged for our transportation to and from the dinner.
The next day we went to the Avila Valley Barn to buy some honey where (ironically) I got stung on the top of my foot by a bee. Bastard bee.

Havasu Landing 1971

Water skiing, hot days, riding on the shoulders of a friend...

Dangling from my left index finger is a "pop top" from a can of soda. Remember when we just yanked the pop top off of a can and discarded it? Well, there I was on the shoulders of a very tall person and, as we approached the picnic table that was laden with food and open cans of various beverages, I tossed the pop top towards the table and - I swear to God - it landed inside the opening of a can of beer. A moment to cherish forever.

Blair Witch Barbies

Stepped out to find these Barbies hanging from our neighbor's apricot tree that overhangs our driveway. There were actually about a dozen Barbies strewn throughout.

Woooo! You go Barbie!

Judy and Me 1979

Judy (on the right) and me at my house on Detroit St. If you look closely you'll see a Christmas card on the left next to my shoulder of a woman exposing herself to Santa. Now who sent that? Judy looked much more tasteful than I in this photo - don't know why I thought I looked good in lavender overalls.

Lookin' out my back door

A stunning August evening.
