Solstice

Summer marches forward, and we are doing cool things!
After a spiffy haircut, Lana is ready for a California summer...

Which means... Having an i-phone camera competition with cousin Justin, walking the gangplank bridge to the Point Bonita Lighthouse, having a birthdayat Grandmom's.....

AND working the Marin Art Festival with all the white tents....

SOON: Right after the Solstice, temps shot up to the TRIPLE digits (eg, 100 degrees, actually 108 that first day.) And she walked the farm, played pirates and read comics and journaled in the hammock. And driving back down to see Susan's author talk at Book Passage.

LANA IS HERE!!

The big first week of Lana in California goes well. We're non-ostop "hangin' out" which means we garden, watch movies, make snacks, play soccer, read, get sleepy and jump about. All in no particular sequence. Giving her an advantage because of her age.

I've put off my writing group for the week, but for next week, we'll each bring a story. In the meantime, we're feeding the goats, making art, doing all from the above paragraph, and working on a SECRET project for Amy.

Ice cream, spinach pizza, yummy new cheeses, artichokes in the garden, planting new seeds, cinnamon and toast, Special-K with strawberries, blueberries and blackberries, nectarines, strawberry lemonade, and her first pistacio are the ongoing world-o-food that we are here in California. Persimmons next on the list....

Next week we go to work on the Marin Art Festival, and see her cousins, (Nicolas and Justin) and Grandma.
