I’m so jealous. I was always goodytwoshoes. I also dream of living among trees but my job binds me to the big city and I hate driving so a commute is out of the question. But I’m curious- how did you got from stealing Mac and cheese to owning a TV?

You live in a privileged place Anna.

Loved the description of the ocean. I know those views far off in the distance. Thanks for sharing your young memories and recreating a time and a place.

Beautiful! I recently caught the hiking bug, working on learning the names of the plants.

One of my favorite classes in undergraduate school was “Plants and Animals of Southern California.” I learned how to tell the difference between Hoary Ceanothus (not to be confused with Hairy Ceanothus) and Blue Ceanothus. And it’s a short period of time when they’re in bloom, but the mountains seem to glow when that happens.

You gorgeous hippie, you! You’d fit right into the chill vibe on the quiet side of Ibiza. Lovely, vivid writing.
