🎄 Ahhhhhhhhh… That feeling when you have un-Christmased your house AND also tackled one clutter corner. ☺️
👚 Now if I can get my laundry put away before the clock strikes midnight. 🤣

Maybe my last day of gardening in 2025…. Maybe not. We will see what next week brings before the calendar turns over. Two hours of weeding and cleaning up fallen leaves and branches. My foot and back are hoping for a break til next year. 😂

So much color bursting in our garden! ❤️🧡💛🩷💜🤍 Hints of summer fig crop is popping off the branches. And the 🍋 blossom buds are in abundance this year.

This was a “blink and you’ll miss it” moment. Caught the glowing 🔥 sunset as it peeked from under the rain clouds overhead. What a beautiful backdrop to our blooming tulip magnolia!

Took a walk with my daughter Melia and encountered many geese at District56 (in-town nature preserve). This pair is a representative sample. A couple of other geese among a crowd we walked thru had the audacity to hiss at us.

Repurposing leftovers into breakfast (brunch?) is like having a whole different meal with half the work. My 🥚 🥚 omelet is filled with 🫑 🧅 and chicken from Chile-Lime Fajita Salad dinner. Guac made from 🥑 perfectly ripened. Side 🥗 is base from dinner with the fresh pico de gallo, topped with pepitas.

A few raindrops didn’t damper my lunch walk around the neighborhood where our office sits. Encountered a unique cactus along the way and birds flitting in the rain atop a leaf-less tree.
My goal for 2025 is to get my exercise routine back on track. It’s been a minute (yrs really), so bear with me.

Closing out 2024 with self-care.
💅 Started the day with a mani-pedi.
🖼️ Did a little sticker art while in the pedi chair.
🌿 Pit stopped at Green Acres on the way home.
👩🏽🌾 Got my gardening fix this afternoon. A little splash of color and some new thyme starters in my planter troughs.

By some Christmas miracle I actually ordered our cards more than a week before the holiday. Now if I can get my labels ready and stamps acquired, they might arrive before Christmas. 🎅🏼 🌲

Happy to catch the FALL-en leaves on the walking path before they disappear. To some it may simply look like a mess. To me it is pure beauty. I miss taking the leaves that fell from our tree in the fall. 🍃🍂🍁

Visited a monarch butterfly grove this AM. It was a little too cool yet for the beauties to float but it was a nice walk thru the grove and along ocean bluff in Goleta, CA.

Started our day with a 3 mile walk to the District 56 nature preserve. Herons, ducks and geese, and a few decoys that generated debate as to whether they were real or fake. 🤣 Happy Thanksgiving to all. Enjoy your family and friends time! 🦃🍁
