napa. napa. napa.
we spent the weekend in napa valley. it was ridiculously beautiful + relaxing, complete with mud baths, massages, biking, and lots of delicious food + wine. it always amazes me that all of this beauty is a mere 1.5 hours away from where we live. here are just a few snap shots of the weekend . . .

friday the 13th field trip (from the sketchbook).
todos santos, mexico
december 2012
this was a very strange candy that was FULL of different and opposite flavors. it felt weird to be eating something and not knowing whether i liked it or hated it. but since there is actually not a food that i DON’T like, and because i wasn’t fully repulsed, i think i kind of liked it and would eat it again.
(i think i made up that word “granulous” . . . it means full of granules.)

picture perfect.
though this might LOOK like a painting, it is a photo that i took with my iPhone ! the light was just perfect. this summer, lake ninevah has been EXTRAordinarily beautiful + photogenic . . . or maybe i’m just “seeing” more beauty this year ? whichever the case may be, i like it.

plymouth.
one of my favorite places in vermont is plymouth. we always stop here to stock up on cheese, soak in the the MOST picturesque landscape, and visit the sheep.
you can even watch them MAKING cheese.
they have a small herd of sheep and you can hand feed them apples.

kayak.
one of my favorite water sports is kayaking. i LOVE being so low with the water and exploring little nooks in the lake. this was an exceptional day of kayaking. the sky this summer has been so dramatic with some of the most amazing clouds i have ever seen. for me, it’s a welcome change from the usual clear blue skies. just LOOK at those CLOUDS !
