Sunday afternoon--a post for Judi Barrett

After another 60 hour week, it was time to pull away today and spend an afternoon with my husband. Today we headed north, through San Francisco, across the Golden Gate bridge, to the Tennessee Valley Trailhead near Mill Valley, California. The entire afternoon was spent chatting, filling our lungs with crisp air on a sunny day, as we worked our way up and down hills in the most beautiful country you can imagine.

As we approached the Green Gulch Farm near Muir Beach, I thought of my Active Rain friend, Judi Barrett, who loves her life on her Oklahoma farm. I wanted to share this bit with her. I know she'll understand my feeling of joy at the beautiful sight of fields of various salad greens, including lots of chard. The sun shining through the leaves and onto the stalks was beautiful, indeed.

So Judi -- this post is for you. As you were having your family sing along at your house today, a friend in California was thinking about you!

Wishing you all hearts full of joy and beauty.

Lottie...a very nice post. It must have been a beautiful day in the Bay Area to enjoy all it has to offer. Tahoe was a bit on the nice side too.

Hi Gary -- I love Judi's heart, smarts, and caring. It added to my pleasure hiking through the gorgeous farm, thinking of her.

We had a great day, Glenn. And Judi just popped into mind when I saw the gorgeous row crops on the farm.

Lottie,

How sweet!  You are a wonderful friend.  I received a google alert with your post link.  Now that is awesome too! 

Thank you so much for thinking of me, of your kind words, and for writing this.

I'm glad that you and your husband took a break and enjoyed the country side.  Our salad plantings are not that big yet.. but I did get fresh spinach for a salad yesterday from the small greenhouse that we keep.

What a wonderful surprise you gave me!

Judi

Hi Doug -- I loved your post about the snow at Tahoe Donner. No skiing for me this year, boo hoo! Sugar Bowl is only a few hours away, but it just didn't work out this year.

Hi Judi! Green Gulch Farm is a beautiful place, nestled between hills in a coastal valley very close to Muir Woods, and just a hop, skip and a jump from the beach. You would appreciate it, and I appreciate hearing about your special place.
