Back from the Land of Green

Day; 100. Rainy and overcast. Spring showers bring May flowers.... temperature on outside kiln; 55 degrees

Back to real life immediately....Students in the morning and the afternoon, with a nap between. Somehow I came home with a cold/sore throat and am a bit under the weather. Not very focused today as husband Dave had some minor surgery and I was thinking about him...

But what an incredible weekend... Sonoma/Napa wine country in California in the springtime just does not get any lovelier... Every tree, bush, shrub, was in bloom, it was so very colorful and incredibly GREEN! I really felt like I had taken a space ship to another planet, one with a lot more water than we have here in New Mexico. Rows and rows of  Eucalyptus trees interspersed with rows and rows of grape vines. And those big fat palm trees, I love them! Truly a much different eco-system than the one I am living in.

And such a sweet and thoughtful wedding. Very casual/intimate but beautiful at the same time, every detail obviously thought about and lovingly tended.  From the cocktail hour to the after ceremony square dancing, a wonderful event on a 20 acre spread amongst beautiful vineyards. So bittersweet to see my niece and the next generation embark on their lives...And there is a baby boy on the way as well.... !!! Oh to be 33 again!!!
