a san franciscan holiday


we spent memorial day weekend in san francisco, visiting my friend sophie. as soon as we got there we began exploring golden gate park. we eventually made it to the bridge and did some major walking. sophie had never walked the bridge, so it was a new experience for all of us. later that night we went to foreign cinema, an outstanding restaurant that shows foreign films while you dine. it was an amazing experience. the next day we headed to the tippy top of sonoma mountain for some grapevine pruning. it was HOT and hard work! we decided to get lunch at this little roadside cafe called the fremont diner, which is apparently critically acclaimed. it was darn cute and delicious! on our final day in the city we mostly just walked around and revisited some of our favorite neighborhoods. overall, it was a busy and exhausting weekend! next up: whale-watching around the san juan islands!


we have made NO progress in getting the house together, but the garden is looking spectacular! we have amazing dinner plate-sized poppies and beautiful peonies in bloom currently. and, great news, one of our strawberries is starting to get some color!




looks like i'll be starting school in july. most of my credits transferred, but i will need to take one extra class over the summer. i will graduate with the rest of the class, and i'm looking forward to meeting some of my cohort a little bit earlier than expected.

stay tuned for our island adventure and the progress of our produce!
