100 Things I Like: Organic Tomatoes

Yesterday, the husband and I picked organic tomatoes at the Mariquita Farm in the northern part of San Benito County. Nearly 30 pounds of red and green bursts of nutrition and flavor. If you're interested in getting in your own supply of tomato goodness, there will be another U-pick day tomorrow, Saturday, September 24, from 9 a.m. to noon. They'll have other vegetables on sale as well. Here's a link for more details.

100 Things I Like: The Pinnacles National Monument

East side, west side. I like both sides of the Pinnacles National Monument. How can you not? You know it was once part of a volcano located in Southern California. Seriously.

This Saturday, entry into this national monument will be free, because it's National Public Lands Day. As part of the day's activities, the rangers will be releasing two California Condors. For more info, head over to here, the Pinnacles National Monument Web site.

100 Things I Like: Window Shopping in San Juan Bautista

A couple weeks, the husband and I strolled up and down San Juan Bautista's main street with a couple of friends looking at store windows. We, well okay, the women, even wandered into the stores. I can't recall to which store this window display belongs. But, it's easy to find again.

Check out this link, if you'd like to see a list of shops in San Juan Bautista.

100 Things I Like: Open Skies

I did not realize how much I missed the open skies of Hollister until the husband and I moved here eight summers ago. I was born and raised in Hollister and moved up to San Francisco for college. I visited my family often in the 30 years I lived up in the Bay Area, but always ready to head back to what was home.  Honestly, I never thought I'd be back in Hollister. Now that I am, well, I'll just say this: I need and want the open skies.

100 Things I LIke: The Mustard Fields

I love it when the mustard is in bloom. Don't you?

I took this photo of the husband pedaling through this particular field a couple late winters ago.
