Well, I promised a few weeks back, when I posted the ‘Over The Hill’ bag that photos were to follow…now, this is not to imply that I am over the hill…God Forbid! But I am in a new decade of life. It seems there have been so many: there were children decades, married decades, and there were decades of driving a big mustard yellow Volvo on the wide open highways of Northern California. It was that same Volvo that I would park curb side of the brown shingled house on Locust Avenue in Mill Valley, and of a warm summer day, you could find me and my down pillow, with a good book, curled up in the way-back of that mustard car. If the weather was just perfect, not too hot, not too cold, I could catch a nap between pages of the trash novel I was reading. I might call that decade my ‘easy decade’! I might be tempted to think of this new decade as my wild, fun decade! Long gone is the mustard Volvo, the house, the husband, the children are grown…so why not move right into WILD!
Everyone, young and old, just plain looks better with candlelight! Add to that, remarkable flowers in colors found only in the early summer. I just can’t imagine a better January treat!
