So beautiful and exciting, I really love the trip west. I know you and Russell must be having a blast.
I suspect the mountains go all the way up, Sarah. Wonderful sunset brilliant and deep red clouds turning the ocean golden here on the coast. I have the window seat. Absolutely sweet end to a jazz weekend.. Thanks to you all for making it possible. We are just leaving Santa barbara. this is the moment when i never want it to end.
Deep in darkness now, and some lovely people have put up Christmas lights. The fields are all set with little six inch plants Anne andrichard
