A house that matches the sky
Yesterday I discovered a hidden dream of mine, and that is to live in a house that matches the sky! Fortunately, San Francisco is full of sky blue houses and I happened to walk past several of them throughout the day. I would like to add one disclaimer that might not be completely clear: I want to live in a house that matches the sky on a PRETTY day…meaning a clear sky sunny day!
Or maybe my house can match Neapolitan Ice Cream?
Mint, Strawberry, Vanilla or Chocolate?
Or it can coordinate with my scooter?
The Pink & Grey combo
Grey-Green & White?
Regardless of how this dream of mine pans out, I will certainly be within walking distance of other interesting and entertaining sights!!

Needless to say, yesterday I enjoyed a little daydreaming. Hope you did too!
Lounging in the Gardens
This beautiful weekend was the best we’ve had in San Francisco yet. To take advantage of it we spent most of Saturday afternoon in Golden Gate Park and most of Sunday in Crissy Field. We chatted, ate, people watched, kicked the feather and most of all, relaxed. It was a wonderful two days, and we certainly weren’t the only ones that enjoyed them.

On the 8:45 Staff Ferry to Alcatraz
Today is Wednesday, and on Wednesdays I go out to Alcatraz to weed the gardens. I brought my camera along this time so that I could get photos of the island from the boat, and here is the result. I’m not too pleased with them, but I guess they’re okay.

The Bay Bridge in the morning
When we finished, I went to have coffee with a couple friends in North Beach and then wandered my way home. Along the way, I passed by Al’s Attire on Grant Avenue. I was in dirty gardening clothes, but I went in anyways. The shop is tiny, but the clothes are beautiful. Everything is hand tailored and has a certain strength, but is still delicate. I couldn’t leave without touching almost every piece, and my mind started whirling about having them design and tailor my wedding dress….so we’ll see!

Then I walked east along Green Street through Russian Hill and then detoured to Union and stopped by Past Perfect, a great antique & mid-century furniture and nik-nac store. All in all, it was a great day!
