Still an abundance of summer fruit and @sonoma_mission_gardens is just as beautiful as ever. The backyard is filled with hummingbirds fighting over a place at the feeder, well-fed squirrels who’ve been gorging on acorns and a mama deer and her two babies hanging out in the shade- they’re in the last photo so look closely 👀

Thanks to @carolyncchart for having me as her gues Thanks to @carolyncchart for having me as her guest at the Patrick Kelly exhibit @deyoungmuseum to share in the joyful exuberance of his work 💃 
He faced many professional challenges but was “raised by strong women” which clearly helped him persevere and succeed- as did the support of people who believed in him and gave him a hand up. His message and legacy remains strong decades after his death in 1990 ❤️

Exploring Lovers Lane and the Presidio Wood Line a Exploring Lovers Lane and the Presidio Wood Line and then to the @palaceoffinearts lagoon where a single swan was holding court 🦢 
This was last Wednesday on a perfectly clear, crisp #sanfrancisco January day 😎 Lovers Lane got its name because soldiers stationed in the Presidio would use the path to rendezvous with their sweethearts ❤️ The Wood Line is an art installation using trunks of felled eucalyptus trees. The trunks will eventually fade and decompose back into the earth 🌎

Hiked the Bay Area Ridge Trail yesterday through t Hiked the Bay Area Ridge Trail yesterday through the Mount Sutro Open Space Reserve. There are 6 trailheads that exit to different parts of the city. There are fairy houses along the path and an alcove of peace offerings where my husband left the most prized possession he had with him- the Norte Dame pin off his hat. We took the Summit path all the way to the top- you have to climb a bit for the good views! The incredible part is only hearing the wind through the trees and the sound of birdsong right in the middle of a busy city 🕊
