Whoo-hoo I didn’t have to work this Saturday so we got to go the Davis Farmer’s market. They have the fall vegetables out as well as beautiful collection of flowers out there. I came home with an heirloom garlic variety, bundle of leeks (for soup tonight), myer lemons, and this great Marin Gourmet hummus. Now…

These are daisies Simon bought a few weeks ago. I think these were the healthiest and the last of the daisies at the store. When we went there a few weeks ago they were moving out the summer and fall plants and making room for Christmas trees and holiday items (before Halloween even!).

This Wednesday a tanker boat drove into the bay bridge and spilled over 58,000 gallons of oil into the San Francisco Bay. At this point they have only been able to recover 8,000 gallons of oil. But experts say that it maybe a lost cause as the oil that was spilled is heavier and almost…

A few weeks ago we went camping near the Oregon border. Along the Smith River they had this small patch of flowers. I didn’t see them anywhere else in the area and they looked so out of place. I think they are beautiful. Does anyone have any guesses on what type of flower this is?

It’s Saturday and I am working my second job as a receptionist at an art gallery. I’d rather be at the farmers market eating fresh chocolate croissants and drinking coffee. It’s a beautiful day so I hope everyone gets a chance to enjoy it.

This weekend we took a trip to the local pumpkin patch. Originally, I was going to take the easy way out and grab a pumpkin at the grocery store but my boyfriend would not hear of it. According to him the only way to get a pumpkin is to go to one of the local…
