Start with some Bovine Bakery love early in the morning...

Add friends you adore...

Funny pups you meet by chance...

Fields of tall, waving grass and classic California green and gold...

Food so good it makes a grown man shed a tear...

Blankets of fog....

Vanilla skies...

Petaluma Pete and his tiny dancer...

Jewelry that reminds you of good dogs and dearest friends...

Add some precious sips of Lavender lemonade for good measure...

(now get out your calculators and compute)

You'll find the sum is a day off that both refilled the heart of a parched woman and broke it all over again.

My heart is intertwined with the tremendously soulful earth of the North Bay...

no matter that the timing was wrong for us to stay

or that it was bone-achingly lonely...

the place is one of the great loves of my life

and I will treasure it dearly for as long as I breathe.

I hope you do something this weekend that allows you to live with renewed vigor and a big heaping helping of love and joy.

Adoring you a whole heckuva lot,

Sunny One
