Visiting California's East Bay

I really think there is no place on the planet as lovely as northern California in March.  I know it has been very mild and lovely in New Mexico this week, while I have been away visiting the Commander here in the East Bay.  But honestly - the color and fragrance of the wild flowers on the Sonoma Coast, the blooming sub-tropicals of Oakland and San Francisco, the farmer's markets, these have taken my breath away!  Coupling these sights and aromas with the artisinal cheeses, the perfect lattes,  and the ACME bread - nirvana!!  Or maybe it is just that I get to do and see all these things with the Commander, that makes it all seem so incredible.  I don't know. 

Our perfect day yesterday (the day our baby turned 30, incidentally!), included an early evening stroll through one of my favorite places on earth - Green Gulch Farm - near Muir Beach.  The things we see there never fail to light my fire!  Organic gardening as it is meant to be done - meanwhile producing THE best vegetables and fruits with utmost respect for mother nature. This photo is one we took there - "May Peace Prevail".

Our First Lady began a garden today at the White House!!!  The first since Eleanor Roosevelt! THIS is GRAND news for America!!  It brings tears of JOY to my eyes!  More of this kinds of news - please!

And......may peace prevail.
