Phil at Farm Dinner

Tonight was our one-year anniversary of Love Apple Farm at Vine Hill Rd! We had a lovely outdoor dinner and campfire. It was a bit chilly and Phillip was keeping warm with a candle.

Thumping turkeys

This morning I woke up to a peculiar noise. Every few seconds I heard a "thump" followed by a low, nearly subsonic hum. I couldn't figure out what it was and finally I had to look out the window. Turkeys! The boys were strutting in full display and the larger was making the noise. He thumped his wings against his body and the ground, then emitted the low hum. The girl turkeys were ignoring them. Ahhh spring...

Cat, wine, and sand cliff

E loves holding Sergio. I saw a bottle of wine on the bookshelf that has our address on it! It was made 30 years ago when our property used to be the Smothers Brothers winery. Last pic: J&E climbed the sand cliff in Scotts Valley.

Will they notice the switch?

E is trying to trick auntie Mare & uncle Shayne into accidentally leaving little S behind and taking her ukelele instead when they fly home tomorrow. Think it will work?

Visit to L&A's

We had a great visit with L&A this evening in Los Gatos. Little S met his cousins A&J for the first time. Shayne liked the wine cellar & Mare liked the Carr paintings. It was great to see you L&A!

I love the huge wooden beams at L& A's house! It was great to see the family tonight.

Mare's quilt

Mare & Shayne took J&E to Yosemite for a couple days, so in my spare evening time I'm finishing up the raw edge appliqué on the quilt blocks Mare fused. Can you guess what the theme of the quilt is? :D

In Mariposa, CA

Thanks for the travel update Mare! Hope you have fun in Yosemite with the kids tomorrow.

We've spent the afternoon walking around Mariposa and locked J&E at
the old jailhouse ;)  Actually they have been great! Very quiet
travelers and now we're heading to the pool.

Mare and Shayne taking little S for a beach walk

IMG_1295.MOV Watch on Posterous

Mare traversed the rocky shore of Natural Bridges with S in his wrap. I remember Penny using the same wrap when she was here last time!

The waves were high but the usual gullies were easier to cross as they were filled with several feet of sand.

My new favorite app: instagram.

Thank you Jeremy B for using this app at the party tonight! What it does is make your photos look old skool like the photo here of Mare & little S at Natural bridges (before and after). Very cool!
