FRESH

New day, new persona! Yesterday I channeled a bit of Gidget at the beach, today feels more like Joan Baez does green grocer and town stroller. The town of Point Reyes Station has it's own form of bustle. I did a tad of bustling there this morning. Bakery bits, and cheese samples. A thrift shop browse and a stroll in the neighborhood - checking the cows and crows as I went.

Clean, fresh air! Fun, fresh ideas! Shopping on a different level than in the city.

THE DAMN CUTEST VEGGIE STAND YOU EVER DID SEE

Joan Baez would definitely shop here, live here >

Notice the population is very tiny town USA !!   and the locals change the sign with each new birth! I think Ms. Baez would approve of life in this little hippie place.

To cap off the total experience I drove single lane roads while hail hit my windshield, chomped on an organic peanut butter cookie while listening to Diana Krall and stopped along my slow crawl at any intriguing sight that made my heart pitter patter.

A fabulous vacation day! And best of all - I have another FRESH day tomorrow. Still at the beach and I may have to come up with another character to be......

Beach Burg of Bolinas

Bolinas, California is situated on ruggedly scenic coast on one side and idyllic avian haven on the other.

Ever hopeful that their beachy-ness remain a secret, the "burg-ers" have written their way into history as foes of Cal Trans and their road signage. Each time a marker indicating mileage or entrance to the tiny town is erected it is also promptly and anonymously taken down.  I've no use for a Bolinas directional. I know the turn-off junction like the back of my hand. I've been visiting this beach burg for thirty years. It is a slice of heaven. If I could paint you a picture I surely would.... but, I can open a picture book -

Fisher persons, crabbers, surfers, artists, and hippies (still!) cohabitate on this one cloud in heaven...

I can never decide which side of this heaven I prefer - the lagoon with it's calm, or the untamed ocean

Artistes of all types ~

The hippies and the Ecos too!

Much satisfaction is garnered in the thought that I will be happy and peaceful one day - many years from now, I'm hoping - when I'm in my final resting place in heaven and on this cloud!  eewww is that a bit too morbid?  Well, just a fact. I guess that peace, serenity and both heavenly & earthly wonders are on my mind.
