What I'm Reading This Week #21
Happy Friday all! I am beyond thrilled to not having to babysit seedlings indoors anymore. I know I need to babysit them outside now but I am going to have to do some serious research on how to stop algae and white mold because I feel like I tried all of the tricks and nothing helped. I can't wait for them to actually bloom. Well, my cantaloupe have flowers on them. I guess I'll have to get some knee high panty hose to hang them from on the trellis. I'll be keeping my eye on those bucket crops because I know it won't be long before critters try to come after them and when they do, I have insect nets waiting for them. HISS! So we'll see how phase two goes. Now let's phase into: 5 Best Compound Exercises to Strengthen Your Whole Body (Get twice as much done in half the time!) 10 Anti-Inflammatory Foods You Should Be Eating, According to Registered Dietitians (I wish I liked avocados, maybe if I made a sassy guac/salsa combo w...

I live in California not SF but it's just gorgeous here. Within about 45 minutes I am at the beach, desert or in 15 in the mountains. It's wonderful. Glad you enjoyed your stay:)
ReplyDeleteIf you disclosed you were on vacation before now I missed it, but boy do I enjoy hearing about your trips!!
ReplyDeleteMy father lived in San Francisco when I was a child and we spent 3-4 weeks there several summers in a row. My aunt lived in San Jose at the time so we would go there too. I've never been back to northern California as an adult, but would love to go back. My dad moved to the coast of LA when I was in high school and I visited him several times there. My aunt moved to Santa Barbara and I've visited her several times. I enjoy visiting California but couldn't imagine living there.
Your trip sounds fantastic and I can't wait to hear more about where you went!
Been to San Francisco a few times as a kid, my aunt & uncle (and later my grandma) lived in Sacramento and when we'd go to visit, we'd usually spend a day in San Francisco. I am always reminded of the Mark Twain quote, "The coldest winter I ever spent was the summer I spent in San Francisco." It has been cold every time I've gone there, and it was always summer time. I know the people who set up on corners, selling sweatshirts are probably rich enough to afford housing in San Francisco. The last time I was there was in August of 1989 on a family vacation with my own kids. We went to an Oakland A's baseball game in the afternoon, and we all got sunburnt. Then that night we took a tour of San Francisco on one of those carts, and had to cuddle up underneath heavy blankets they provided, of course all of us wearing the brand new sweatshirts we had bought from the street vendors. But I do love the city--particularly that Golden Gate Bridge! Breathtaking! Thanks for sharing your amazing pictures!
