Was at a winery in Carmel Valley yesterday and saw these pretty grape vines starting to turn for fall

My friend and I were talking a stroll though a local park that also has a 4H farm. It's hard to tell, but this old barn has a bee hive in it. If you zoom in, you can see the bees coming out just to the top right of a bush.

A friend asked me to do a patriotic guinea pig photo shoot. I admit it is very dorky. The guinea pig, Olaf, was a good sport about the whole thing, and yes, I made the guinea pig sized Uncle Sam hat for this event

Random guinea pig channelling my enthusiasm for the 250th anniversary of the birth of our nation right now. It is so different from how I felt in 1976, when everyone was all excited about it and we were painting fire hydrants red white and blue and to look like revolutionary war heroes.

I found these Portuguese custard tarts at a farmers market the other day! Pastéis de Nata is what they are called. It's been a couple of years since I was there, but they are flakey, delicious, and not too sweet.

I went to Hungary and Austria for a classical music tour with friends recently and got to see many wonderful things, including this tiny portrait of Mozart in his birthplace, a house in Salzburg...now a small museum

A friend gifted my spouse with this chocolate they bought on a trip to Norway. We disagree strongly about the goodness of it. He hates it. I think it might be my new favorite chocolate

At SeaTac, there is a display of bags in baggage to shame those who didn’t pick up their luggage. I made that up. I don’t know why it’s there

I finally allowed myself to just do a puzzle. Also, the low quality photo is due to me taking it with my broken phone before I paid a lot less than buying a new phone to get it fixed. I had to put it in selfie mode and point it away from me, and it was weirdly sideways

Halloween was pretty good given that my whole October was a dumpster fire and I didn't try. Here were some outside decorations I put up while talking to a friend on the phone on Halloween. The goat skull is my favorite item.

So, of course I tried these and if I were blindfolded, I would have guessed the flavor as “pancakes with maple syrup”.

Sometimes substitute teaching is fun, like when I had a couple of days with choral students. Other times it’s really dull like today. Please enjoy my white guinea pig

I was visiting a friend over the weekend and went to the OC Fair...and I saw this incredible sign that a friend of my friend had made, so I told him to pass it on to the artist that this is the best sheep sign art I have ever seen. Pic on right is the sheep it was describing. Cotswolds

If you zoom in you can see California newts in the water. Creek at Filoli. It was so exciting to see them. On the same visit we also saw quail, woodpecker, deer, chickadees, towhees and swallows.

There was this interesting sea cave thing in Yachats and also a monument to some people who drowned in it because the ocean is dangerous. We enjoyed from a safe distance.

This is an old pic, but it has a side part and is essentially one length....I have wavy hair, so this look takes some work for me. Don't let Great Clips screw your hair up!
