Yes, it is. It is a pretty steep climb, so you get a good view of the city. Could have brought a golf club with me and snuck in a few shots, no one around. Settled for some yoga instead. (;
T stands for time together with my sister in one of our favorite neighborhood bistros. Cibo Cibo translates to uncomplicated, unpretentious casual food and drink, which describes our weekly get together perfectly. Raspberry lemonade prosecco and bruschetta I love these moments, a great chance to catch up and talk about all sorts of fun things. We both love fashion, reading, psychology, classic movies, and family. I have been reading Writing with Quiet Hands. The book is inspirational, full of wonderful tips and quotes, and a great book for self reflection. I have been thinking about what I like to read, and consequently my voice in writing. I have also been thinking about word choice. I find haiku really challenging, but when I read it, I think it can be simple and beautiful.

I will need to play around with the gelatos to see if I can get the vibrant colors that I have seen on her pages. Try it on Tuesday had a friends challenge, so I chose this quote. True friends are like bright sunflowers that never fade away over distance and time. -M.W. Johnstone Even though, the challenge was over before I had a chance to create something it was still good inspiration. While I was out for my walk, I saw this sign, which struck me as a little sad.. I need friends.. but it also inspired me to reach out to people, and be a little friendlier to everyone I meet. Sunshine always makes me a little happier, and the late warm weather made a beach day possible. On...

ReplyDeleteDefinitely Erica. I love yard work, so fulfilling when you see the results of your efforts. Happy Sunday!
DeleteYou certainly had an energetic Earth Day. That view is spectacular. Is that from the golf club?
ReplyDeleteYes, it is. It is a pretty steep climb, so you get a good view of the city. Could have brought a golf club with me and snuck in a few shots, no one around. Settled for some yoga instead. (;
DeleteIt was FREEZING here, but I loved it. I think you had a wonderful Earth Day.
ReplyDeleteLuckily wasn't freezing, and we warmed of quickly with walking the hills. It was great to be out in the fresh air. Happy Sunday!
