Nature is amazing

Nature is amazing! I mean, really. Check out this truly magnificent plant. I happen to do quite a bit of landscaping up along the coast and I am continually surprised and delighted when I run across plants that just blow me away!

Up on the north coast where the wind is windier than the day before and the roads are windier than the last ones there is much to offer not only the casual visitor but those of us who call this wild place home. The beaches! The ocean! The ocean! The beaches! Here are a couple of sisters celebrating Frida Kahloā€™s birthday!

The Arena Cove in Point Arena is a must-see at anytime of the year. One can watch for hours on end the surfers, the fishing boats and whale spouts, Fishing off the pier is a wonderful way to spend some time with friends or family.

We had a most successful fundraiser for Jeff Hillier at the Fourth of July celebration down here at the Cove. Unfortunately Jeff was unable to make it up that weekend and have his place at the beginning of the parade this year but someone noticed his picture and his medals from being a hospital corpsman in Vietnam and offered a very generous donation! Jeff is halfway through his cancer treatment and we are all hoping for the best outcome.

I have been trying for I canā€™t even tell you how long to get this ā€˜landlockedā€™ 1972 SkipJack boat out of our driveway and this sign strategically placed down at the cove was the magic key!

Yay for very heavy things out of your life! Oh and the space one createsā€¦ the possibilities are so so fun!

I am on such a rollā€¦stay tuned!
