What a Beautiful Picture !

I took this on our way into town as we were driving along the freeway.  What a glorious sky.

Spring is here.  We are having a great day, the weather is warm, just enough breeze to keep you cool and enough clouds to enjoy the sun when it shines.  I'm fixing up my patio now and will have pic to show you later.

Statue's of Nature

A Farmer down the road from where I live is taking his walnut orchard out as you can see.  I was driving by and was struck by the beauty of Standing Statue's.

What a Crazy Sky

Enjoy !

Birds in Flight

Just had to add this.  As you can tell I love taking pictures of birds.  I was in my window watching them swoop up and around as they are making a nest under our eaves.  They have every year and it is so interesting to watch.  The beauty in their wings, especially when they are spread out is a joy to see.  Our cats are are very interested, might I even say determined the birds will be lunch but so far and I do hope it continues they are reduced to just watching.  It's funny our one cat, Elviria hides in the bushes by our bird bath.  I'm afraid the birds have out smarted her time and time again.  Thank Goodness.  I love my cats and adore watching the birds so hopefully all will stay as it is and I can enjoy both.     Tootles

San Francisco at it's Best

These are just some of what I took.  I tell you I could just ride around for hours just looking at all the houses.  The whole feeling of being there is so unique.  I know what New Yorker's mean when they say that about their City.  It's hard to describe but once you are there you will know exactly what they are talking about.  I do so love to find a cafe hidden in the middle of a block and to go in sit at the window and enjoy the view from inside and out.  You know what I mean.  You are sitting at a table at the front of the cafe next to the front window.  You can not only watch the happening going on in the cafe but turn your head and watch what is happening outside.

Next time we go we are parking and walking as I do like to check out different stores.  Will have a tale to tell then. ............................................................................................I can't get over how beautiful the buildings are.  I'm sorry but the modern building are just big and ugly, not one once of character.  Tootles

More pic's from the City !

The financial district.  Wow what buildings.  Taken from inside the car through the windshield.  Pretty cool uh !

It really was a pleasant day, not too cold or windy.

I'm in the car there looking at the Pink Ladies.  They are so pretty and their view is Alamo Park right across the street, which is where Jim is standing taking the picture.  What a great day we had .

Shopping in the City !!

cu

This is what I bought.  Isn't it just the sweetest cupboard ever.  Remember I told you our home (well, part of it) is in an old school bus #4.  This is the kitchen at the front.  You come up the steps, grab on to the pole and swing up and you, my friend are in my kitchen.  Looking straight ahead you will see my newest edition....The SanFrancisco Cupboard.  The middle is a pull down door.  That is where I keep my baking needs and my pasta machine.  Want to see my homemade pasta ?

How about that, uh ?  Looks pretty good.

As you can see my kitchen is blue with some white or cream, a little green and black thrown in.

And this is where I bought the cupboard.....

Isn't this the coolest apt. building. She lived on the first floor on the left.  There were some steep steps going up to her door.  It was just like you would think inside.  The front room, that is where the windows are, is the bedroom.  Must be why she has them all covered.  We walked into the kitchen, after going through an entrance room.  It was full of bags and boxes of things.  She did say they were changing things around and the kitchen was adorable in the fact that it was old fashion.  I loved the old painted fancy work cupboards but what was different or I should say odd is the kitchen counter was full of liquor bottles.  I don't think you could have gotten another bottle on there.  Hey, to each his own I say.  She couldn't have been kinder or sweeter and had even came home on her lunch break so kudo's to her.  We ask her where would a good place be to have lunch and she suggested "Chile's Kitchen" which was up the street one block.  We went and the food was delicious.  Here is a pic of the outside......

You can see in the reflection in the window the beautiful buildings.  Will have more pic of SF next time.  Until then have a great day.  Tootles
