San Diego!!!!

Lots of masks on the walls.


Gold table and an assortment of 
great salsas!


The walls were covered in masks and photos
of wrestler's.


The Gold booth we sat at.

One of the walls filled with photos
of wrestler's that have visited here.


Our flight to San Diego was a good one. When we landed we took the shuttle to pick up our car and then headed to Trader Joe's and Whole Foods to pick up a few groceries and drinks. We rested a bit and then my daughter and her hubby came and picked us up to take us to a taco shop. In fact it was the same taco shop that the show "Man Versus Food" ate at. It is called the Lucia Libra Taco Shop. The walls are  decorated with lots of photos of Mexican wrestlers, a collection of masks and a Championship Belt. There is a Giant Gold Booth that sits in the corner that only VIP can sit in with reservations. My daughter had made the reservations and when we got there she had to tell them a "Secret" password to claim the booth. The food was amazing. It was fun being a VIP!!!!!

Walking in A Winter Wonderland!!!!!!!!!!

Snow Flaked Diamonds


Standing in an icy meadow.
The sun sparkling off the snow.

Tree limbs bending.
Toppled with heavy snow.

Marking my way through the frost.
Being careful as to not get lost.

My cheeks rosy,
From the bitter cold.

Trudging onwards
Carrying my load.

My breath heavy
In the air.

A few more feet
And I'll be there.

It is so pretty here today!! It snowed even more last night.
One of the post on the bridge by the creek shows how much we got.

Still Obsessed With Snow!!!!

Apple orchard.


Bushes piled with snow.


The snow is really coming down here.


The horse that is boarded on this property. He 
comes when I call him. He knows I have an apple.

Eating the apple....he wanted more and followed me
around the field. 

Path out back.


Leaves piled with snow.


Apple tree branch.


Chickadee birds just before it started snowing.


Okay.....I went for a walk out in the Winter Wonderland behind where I live. It was GREAT!!! I bundled up like an Eskimo....really....I could hardly walk I had so much on. :)  I just have to share these photos.

Obsessed With Snow!!

Still a little dark outside.

Looking down at the bridge from our balcony.

I took this in the dark.

Gorgeous!

Okay, I will admit I am a little obsessed with the snow!! Hey....I am a California girl!!!! So living where it snows is a BIG deal to me. Here are a few more GREAT photos of our back forty!!! Everyday it gets prettier and prettier. It snowed a whole lot more last night. Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Our Back Forty!

The view from our balcony. Most of the snow melted.
You can see the barns through the trees.

Snow Angel

Pine trees in the woods.




Snow Angel made by an Angel.


Snow dusted ferns.


Edge of creek...prettier in person.


It snowed today!! Not that much but more than yesterday. I picked up my youngest granddaughter and we went to the park. We hiked back into the woods. She called it an adventure. It was indeed. We saw beautiful ferns dusted with snow and pine trees with their tips dotted with snowflakes. She was the leader and Nana had to hoof it to keep up!!!! She made snow angels and we threw pinecones into the creek. It was very refreshing to breathe the crisp air as we crunched around in the icy field.
