::view from my windowsill:: Winter is still officially 6 days away, but it’s gotten an early start here out East this past week. Last Sunday it started snowing and it has barely held up since. I, unfortunately, have not fared well and came down with a nasty case of the flu (do those shots even…

BOO!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Hope you are all having a fun and festive day! I’m spending my Halloween night watching a marathon of season 1 of American Horror Story – I am weirdly obsessed. The first episode scared the shit out of me, but apparently not enough to keep me away as I was intrigued by the…

I spent Cinco de Mayo with friends at the beautiful Cooper family Monkey Ranch in Petaluma, CA (see our Fall trip here). We picked our food for dinner (little gems and fava beans!), explored the grounds (someday I want my own airstream, how country romantic), listened to some music in the Sunset Barn…
