Shared the road with this fellow driving home from town the other day. Love living in a small town. (I seem to be on a road theme here lately…) #horseandbuggy #losolivos #santaynezvalley #santabarbarawinecountry #smalltownliving #smalltownusa #roadtrip

So this cow walks out of a painting… “Afternoon in the Vineyard'” by moi (and posted earlier, sorry for the re-run) and the little Staffordshire cow that was my mother’s and one of my treasures. They seem made for each other, but it is not to be, alas. “Afternoon” is drying and about to be shipped to its new owner. Going to a very good home. #oaksavannavineyard #rancholazaca #landscape #pleinairpainting #losolivos #santaynezvalley #santabarbarawinecountry #socal #staffordshirecow

Talk about romantic… Always love seeing one of these on the ride to town. And to think my husband used to race them. It is a whole thing apparently… #hotairballoon #foxencanyon #santaynezvalley #santabarbarawinecountry #romanticgetaway #ridetotown #losolivos #california

Five Ways to Work Your Way Out of a Muddle
You may have noticed (or been relieved) that I’ve stepped aside from blogging, in part to promote The Bee Cottage Story, which is pretty consuming. But also because I’m confused about what to do next. What to say? Where to focus? Who to become? WTF? Do you ever get like that?

What a treat to visit the New York studio of the amazing and talented Karen Tompkins, whose work examines the elements of the universe, literally, as each of this series represents an element of the periodic table. Find her @tompart

Single stems in like bottles grouped together make a statement. Orchids at the Mandarin Oriental in Miami, where I was over the weekend for a women’s conference.
