to the sunshine? you take it Seattle?

so we can hit the mountain over the weekend!

San Clemente camping

This weekend we made it up to San Clemente state beach
and/or campgrounds. Our first time camping at a so cal beach.
We will be hitting up all the rest soon! What a fun weekend.

Friday was perfect...Thanks Lincoln for getting us a holiday!

No one else around and an ocean view...

awesome.



We camped next to a bunch of sites that were closed off for
vegetation regrowth. Reading on the bluffs above the beach,
totally silent; priceless.



We managed to hike down the cliffs a couple times
for some good beach and surf sessions.

K# said this is one of her favorite picks of me so I had
to include it.






Good times around the fire with new friends.

Did you catch what team K is supporting?
Converted to the Texans! Sorry E but she
has gone to the brighter side of the force...

...at least it's not the dark side!




A perfect end to a perfect day!



Life is good!

another amazing day!

morning sesh for C and an afternoon sesh for K!
sounds like we both scored some pretty fun waves
today. PLUS we both had great days at work.

can't wait to get back in the water tomorrow!

other then that, not much to report on. no time for
pics today (it was dark when we left and dark when
we came back). Hope everyone else out there had
a great day too.

gardening time...

...in the winter!

gotta love so cal winters!

one of the most amazing Januaries ever.

what's your air temp?

our guava tree. every day we pick up around

20-30 guavas off the ground. The birds love

em, the possums love em, and so do we!

we both have taken a few FULL grocery bags

of guavas to work; and our co-workers love em too.

still producing...

our eight cloves of garlic. i planted 4 cloves when we first

move in. they didn't do well. BUT, this year 8 plants

sprouted up! how cool is that?

All this green is cilantro! it all came from one plant

that seeded. I shook it, sprayed it with the garden hose

and scattered the seeds about. A few rains later and

we have harvested more cilantro then we can handle.

Even after taking bags of it to work too!

And finally our broccoli...what a beautiful color on

this plant.

I think the broccoli must have eaten the spinach planted

in between the rows!

the first head is starting to form! Oh-i can't wait

to see 4 bunches of broccoli in our back yard..it

looks so cool!

LIFE IS GOOD! Couldn't be happier...or as Rick said

"well maybe a million bucks...!"...but I would rather have a

million days with K#! (I can thank ALL (NO ALL!) for that quote.)

Hope you get better soon SQ!

just another bird

so i meant to just take a pic but some how ended up

a video.

with double spaced text.

why do you hate me today blogger?

(it also took 5 attempts to get this video uploaded)...

The IB parrots are HUGE compared to the OB parrots.

Lately they've taken a liken' to our guava tree!

if i were you i would only watch the first 5 seconds.

otherwise you might get sea sick!

say that 3 times fast! ha

deep peace of the quiet earth to you

I'm still not sure what that means but i do like the

idea of the quiet earth having deep peace to me. what?

This sign was in our mountain rental.

I though this pic was appropriate because we've had anything but

deep peace or quiet...as always, it's non stop action around here.

surf, work, surf, snowboard, surf, work, bike/skate, work.

Our daily activities are a little to extreme for the camera and

my laugh is a little to loud to share the video! man we have some

funny video.

Yesterday we spent the day cleaning, reorganizing and gardening.

The most beautiful few weeks ever. Sunny. Warm. Waves.

I'll take pics of the broccoli today, it looks amazing!
