Good morning fellas. #rancholazaca #homesweethome #california #santaynez #losolivos #foxencanyon

The beautiful #casadeherrero in #santabarbara by #georgewashingtonsmith. If you are in the area and looking for activities around the holidays, a visit to the casa would be perfect.

Are these the most gorgeous roses you’ve ever seen?! A gift from the incomparable @rosestoryfarm, who tells me the lavenders don’t last long, but they sure put on a show while they do. And the scent is sublime.
