I tried to get control of myself but people kept popping in and knocking me off my stride and I finally just gave up and rode the thing. Not necessarily very artfully. Got a guitar lesson in and bought a couple beautiful paintings and never had time to eat. Worked out. Met a group of watercolor students, taking an intensive workshop with the great Zbukvic and they traipsed in to the gallery throughout the day. Now I am exhausted from doing nothing.
Actually I have been methodically mowing through my obligations and am pretty well caught up and in a better place than I have been for some time, thanks to some wonderful friends and clients. I am very grateful.
We had an amazing weekend, a brunch Sunday at Rancho Valencia, with my chick pea goat cheese cake and crispy salmon filet. Itty bitty donuts with three dishes of caramel, raspberry and chocolate sauce. Great company. Then to TraceyStanRichardlynnes and on to Ron and Lenas where we reconnected with a bunch of old friends and just had the best old time. Spent several days cleaning up the ranch.

Got an email from some bigwig outfit that asked if I would be interested in writing about food for them nationally. I told them that I was flattered and would think about it. Asked how they found me and am awaiting their response.

I post a picture of the scene one afternoon at Leslie's store next door. Corrie and Renee, about to move in to the new pad.

I finally see little red tailed hawk chicks in the nest and grabbed my first pics this morning, not great, the first of many to come. Not sure how many we got this time, it was three two years ago. I need to borrow or rent a 400mm lens or at least bring my tripod home.
Mind you the nest is very high up in a tree and conditions aren't exactly optimal.
