succulent saturday

Spring is near.

My boys and I spent a very beautiful Saturday at the Huntington Library with two very great friends.

The Desert Garden is a particular favorite.... Although, the whole place is spectacular!

Plants, trees, clouds...NATURE.. all AMAZE me. *It's a shame I can't keep any plants alive :(

Thank goodness for places like this....I get to enjoy some of nature's wonderfulness without harming any.

(I call these Earth warts)

Can't wait to go back.

Life without Facebook...

I'm going on two weeks without it and who knew?! -life goes on :)  These days one can easily forget the importance of interpersonal relationships and genuine communication. I don't want to lose it by not using it so.... back to the basics! (and an occasional blog entry).

On a different (and very fabulous) note:
*great thing to look forward to this year is Beach House's new album!! I LOVE them. Can't wait until May! And can't wait for tour dates!!

enjoy.
