Of course I watched every second this morning of the Duke of Edinburgh’s funeral. The Queen chose this photo taken at Balmoral to share today. ♥️The Land Rover he designed was so him. He was such a beloved person I think because he was real - and like many of our papas, didn’t have patience for mucking about and little filter, but that made him more real and relatable. Thinking of the Queen today who looked so small walking into the chapel alone. How lucky they were to have him for so long.

I love how the light makes waves every morning in our pool bathroom. I guess we chose the right glass for that window! I am off to hit the neighborhood and get some of my 10,000 steps in since Deepak Chopra says we need to every day. ..and swimwear season is approaching. 🥲Yesterday it was no problem with that shopping excursion. Happy Thursday!

A huge new home decor @athomestores opened today i

A huge new home decor @athomestores opened today in San Jose near the airport. I ran over there to look for a few things for my son’s apartment and had no idea it was a super store. There’s a LOT so you can be overwhelmed, but there are some gems like pretty lamps, good looking outdoor pots in a lot of styles for nice prices. The outside section is huge. Great place to go if you’re sprucing up the outdoors for spring. It’s right off 17 by the airport and if you are ready to drop after (as we were), there’s an In n’Out burger in the parking lot. 🤣A fun expedition. More details and some video on my story. You know I just had to do an investigative report.

P.S. There are just two of these stores in California- San Jose and Clovis, but many in other states.

So excited I went outside this morning and noticed

So excited I went outside this morning and noticed my succulent guys have all bloomed little babies. Thank you Shelley @fleurdlisgarden! Your TLC last fall have made them so happy. I wish the rest of the yard was looking as fine. My low care front yard has suddenly decided to get weeds after nothing for 2 years- and we have a mole. Guess I know where the weekend is going to be spent! 🙁 How’s your yard? Working on a garden post for tomorrow!

I bought this little basket at the hardware store

I bought this little basket at the hardware store ( a good find) for the wall, but rested it here. I think I will leave it for a bit as I love the mix of the woven natural and the layers. I get pretty bored of how things look around here. I guess that’s another reason to not always hang, but lean pictures, mirrors etc., so you can change them up. Anyone else love doing that or do you have things set and never touch them? I have to admit sometimes when I look back at pictures of the house even a year ago or so, I’ve liked the previous ways I’ve had things sometimes more than the way I have them now! Anyone else relate?

Starting the week with a new geranium from the gro

Starting the week with a new geranium from the grocery and a cleaned out refrigerator. I don’t know why that makes me feel like I’m on top of things, but it does. I hate cleaning the fridge and avoid it until someone comments on an expired item and then I’m horrified and can’t believe how things got that way. LOL. We laid low yesterday after getting the second vaccine Saturday. I felt pretty good, and the guys had a few achy bits, but Advil worked. I also drank a lot of water and electrolytes as the nurse advised me. So glad to have that behind us. I’m really hoping to work in the yard some more this week, but our pollen count is really bad now. Anyone else having crazy allergies this year? I’ve heard it’s a bad season. What’s your plans for the week? I know some people are on spring break. Hope you all have a great start to the week! 🤍

Having a little fun at lunch today at The Bench. The lavender ice teas are amazing, and so were the views. We are back to reality and home now. I feel lucky to be so close to such beautiful places. Here at The Bench and all the places we went, it felt safe and spaced out. I took my mask off to eat and drink. Tomorrow we get our second shot. Definitely excited and happy to get the second and feeling hopeful more things like this will be possible soon!

I have been working on the yard and the patios this week and found these umbrella stands and thought they might be cute as planters by my entry. These ferns are scrappy from the winter, but I was thinking asparagus ferns could be cute in them? My succulents weren’t getting enough sun here so I am moving them. Working on a garden and yard post for later this week! Love rattan and these are by @studiomcgee at Target.

Hope you all had a great weekend. I’m not ready

Hope you all had a great weekend. I’m not ready to put away Easter yet- especially my gingham carrots! Guess it’s a good day to organize and figure out where to store these things so I can find them next year!

Happy Easter to those who celebrate! I ended up do

Happy Easter to those who celebrate! I ended up doing a simple table with little daises for our brunch this morning . Just feeling grateful to be able to have my dad with us all today. We ate way too much and it was wonderful. Some afternoon naps happening in the couch here! Hope your weekend was great too.
