ocean treasures 2010

Looking at this picture one might think I was vacationing by the sea...taking a walk with my linen lined basket, my eyes searching left to right, ready to pluck just the right treasure. But actually, I'm still here on the farm. Let me explain...

This is one of many gates we have scattered here throughout the orchards. At the base of each one are the remnants from gushing waters. We flood the land and since all water touches Earth's oceans in one way or the other, we end up with little mini shores at the base of each gate. I think it's remarkable and in a strange way helps me feel connected to my boho family who lives way down at the other end of California.

Happy New Year :)
No resolutions for me, just gratitude...realizing that God chose this place for me to spend the rest of my life is humbling and exciting. This is much more than I deserve and in my life dreams I never imagined being in a place like this.

The Peace here is abundant...

Hi Darlene ~~ loving your pictures. I remember finding those little shells when I was walking the canal banks in Hughson.

What a special little "ocean" treat for you to find in your orchard.

I think it's enchanted...first little villages and now sea shells in the fields..

Love you darling...
