Cinque Terre Hiking Trip – Preview

October 2025 My blog posts have been intermittent for some time now. Sorry!! I have had very limited cell service since last Spring and no convenient internet service. But, I’m back home in Vermont for the foreseeable future and enjoying consistent connectivity! So, I… Continue Reading “Cinque Terre Hiking Trip – Preview”

August Sunset on Timothy Lake

We’ve had a smokey haze all day due to wildfires to the south of us and it makes for some very pink sunsets.

More Timothy Lake Ducks

Lazy Timothy Lake Morning

July 29, 2025 I like to bring my chair and coffee down to the lakeshore early in the morning on my days off. I’m usually greeted by one of the several flocks of ducks that call our campground day use area home. 🙂 They… Continue Reading “Lazy Timothy Lake Morning”

Another great day of exploring the Pacific Coast – this time just north of Half Moon Bay on a cliff above the ocean called Pillar Point Bluff. We are once again dog sitting for our son’s Belgian Malinois “Wylie” and finding dog friendly hikes… Continue Reading “Pillar Point Bluff 2.27.25”

Filoli Historic House and Garden 2.12.25

Enjoyed a stroll around the Filoli Historic House and Garden in Woodside, CA this morning. I love having this place nearby my son’s house and with an annual membership I can visit frequently. Hellebores stole the show today, along with Camellias blooming throughout the… Continue Reading “Filoli Historic House and Garden 2.12.25”

Le Puy Camino – via Podiensis: Saint Martin to Moissac

April 26, 2023 We had 16 kilometers of walking to look forward to on this rather cloudy, drippy day. In my journal notes for today, I wrote that it was a “nice walking day – not too wet.” My recollection is that it did… Continue Reading “Le Puy Camino – via Podiensis: Saint Martin to Moissac”
