CA Dreaming

There was a week in northern CA (Marin County) 

and another week at a conference in southern CA

(San Diego).

And even while being immersed in worries about 

the world situation,

prospects for an adult child

or details of child abuse, 

domestic violence, childhood trauma and resiliency,

there was beauty everywhere;

and it helped.

 

With so many miles of gorgeous coast line,

it's easy to forget that northern CA is mainly farmland.

 I had the good fortune to have access to a farm for a portion of time

and the freedom to wander.

 And it was lambing season!

 but, if that's not your thing,

there was other requisite livestock for additional diversion.

 

 

 But, I'm not going to lie,

it's always the sea that holds the biggest claim on my heart -

and the less developed the better.

San Diego has its own beauty

 but what I enjoyed the most was seeing it in so many different lights

 

All in all, 

it went by too quickly...

and I'm home.

And there's one benefit to home that CA doesn't offer!

Be it ever so humble,

there's no place like home!
