MY YARD IS BECOMING HAPPY

"Look at the trees, look at the birds, look at the clouds, look at the stars...and if you have eyes you will be able to see that the whole of existence is joyful. Everything is simply happy. Trees are happy for no reason; they are not going to become prime ministers or presidents and they are not going to become rich and they will never have any back balance. Look at the flowers---for no reason. It is simply unbelievable how happy flowers are."

THE JOURNEY

Night and day the river flows. If time is the mind of space, the River is the soul of the desert. Brave boatmen come, they go, they die, the voyage flows on forever. We are all canyon-eers. We are all passengers on this little mossy ship, this delicate dory sailing round the sun that humans call the earth.

BREW CREW

On Sunday we went out to lunch at one of our favorite places in Old Town Auburn-----

The Auburn Alehouse.

Notice the theme between this photo and photo #1?

Love the old brick walls, the industrial look with all the duct work showing,

The yummy "sampler" with all the beers available at the moment.

Notice the "evil eye" I am getting from my son-in-law? I'm not sure if it's because I caught him off-guard or if he didn't want me taking his picture. But most of the samples were already sampled so it could have been that too!

And his Dad? Or should I say "Robert Duvall look-alike"? I'm not sure what that face is all about!

 I do know that we were all having a really good time, even the baby. They make the best cheese bread you ever want to taste. 3 kinds of cheese stuffed into a sour dough round, baked until gooey, and served on a plate with oil and balsamic vinegar and pepper flakes! Ummmm...so good. If anyone wants the recipe, let me know!
