reality...

It's really hard to come back from a place where:
-you can wear sandals
-colorful fruits, vegetables, and flowers are happily growing. In the ground. And you can buy them. And eat them...mmm
-the farmer's market runs year round and you don't have to wait until June.
-everything is green, and not dead
-there are blossoms on trees
-you can drive with your window down
-temperatures that start with a 6....a SIX!! (61°!)
......
...

It's not fair, is it?
....more soon. 
this is the most torturous post, promise.

Maybe that's why I have such a hard time with winter. Because I grew up in Southern California and I know it doesn't have to be this way! :) Love the photos. Hope you enjoyed your time in the warm!

I know you may hate me after this, but I am freezing and so bummed when the number starts with 6 here. No park day for us unless closer to 7. Haha and it was in the high 7's on saturday. We got sunburns.

Again I am really sorry, that was kind of mean. Love your blog as always!

Rachael said...

Yes, that IS torture!

Hayley said...

Torture!! That's some beautiful "rhubarb." :) (I'm sure you figured out by now that red chard is just called rhubarb chard because it looks like rhubarb, not because it IS rhubarb, haha.)

I know it's all true, and amazing! I live 4 hrs. south of SF and it's the same here with the farmer's market. Such a gift!

A Beautiful Life said...

exactly...exactly why i MISS where i grew up. i miss california sunshine and i miss fresh fruits and veggies, that you can actually SMELL, that have a wonderful fragrance/odor to them...unlike the dead fruit in the stores in Utah. i miss my sunshine, i miss having small winters and i miss all the prettiness and green and flowery goodness of my homeland. hahhaha.

I have been reading this blog for a little while now and absolutely adore it.
After this post I tried Tony's pizza on my trip to San Fran, and you are right- it was amazing!!
Thank you for suggesting it :)
