beauti

i took myself for a beautiful hike the other evening after work... just as the sun was setting. Blue Fox backs up to state forest land and there are these little horse trails, deer trails, and logging trails that tempt you deeper and deeper into the woods... until as i found... you are on top of a mountain. It was such a beautiful day... and felt sacred in its silence and alone time. here are some more pictures:

...and now for this sunday... i say goodnight

maggie's visit

last week maggie reid came to visit chris and i. It was lovely to see a familiar face from home... and have some one familiar in our new space. She and Chris were able to spend some of the days going on hikes and wine tours. And then, last sunday we all went to the sea. This time we were able to spot some of the california coast as we headed up route 101 along the shore, and then went up to Gold beach, which was highly recommended by all. It was a lovely day. A lot of rain, a lot of seals, and good company. Thanks for coming maggie :)

babies being born

my apologies for being absent from the blogosphere. the weeks seem to have been flying by at immense speed... and time found for sitting and sharing pictures feels very rare. but i shall try in the next few minutes ( as chris is making pad thai on the shared stove)... to atleast upload some new pictures of our new lives. Starting: the new baby goats that have been born here in the past two weeks. I never knew goats could be such a delightful addition to life, but so they are. and here they are:
