Welcome to the weekend view.
Silkies in the Greenhouse Garden
These ladies did a little wandering in the greenhouse garden the other day in between rain and stormy weather. This is Pearly Girl and Bucket- Sage is also right here – she is just around the corner. (you can see her in a quick video on Instagram )
Stormy Weather
We are getting some much needed rain here in Northern California. I am loving the sound of it falling and the fresh air. It is a warm rain so we have been able to open up the French doors and enjoy while sitting inside in the evenings. Though today- it is absolutely dumping rain and it is windy- so enjoying a fire in the living room to stay cozy and hoping the power stays on.
Mix & Mingle
I live in a seasonally confused world all year long it seems and right now- the seasons are definitely mixing and mingling over here. And I love it.
A little quiet
Along with those seasons mixing and mingling and the weather- I have been arguing with my sinuses the past couple of weeks and have been a little more quiet than usual here on the blog as some of you have noticed. Sinus infections seem to be an every spring and fall thing for me- and right now they seem to be headed in that direction. I always wondered if it related to long days and weather changes when traveling to and from High Point Market which is in April & October every year. But since I skipped market this year – it may be more related to changing seasons and allergies from burning fires. Or maybe my sinuses are just plain finicky. haha. Whatever it is – I have been moving slow on a bit of a break but am getting my Tasmanian devil energy mode on over here- so stay tuned for a whole lot of fun coming your way this week.
Virtual Cooking Event
I also wanted to quickly share something that I shared on social earlier this week. This wonderful virtual cooking class with French Chef Daniel Boulud. This sounds like SO MUCH FUN- and it is Free. Sign up to join in here

Always enjoy your posts. Everything is so lovely. As for the sinuses, use a sinus rinse kit available at drug stores. They come with a squeeze bottle and saline packets. I have not had an infection since using them in 2005. I used to get them all. of. the. time. hope that helps. keep sending your lovely inspirations. xo
Courtney says
Thanks so much Lollie! I have gotten those before-they can do wonders!
Michelle says
Hi Courtney!
I too have wacky seasonal changes here THAT mess with my sinuses. Not fun, it can really get you down. I now take Zyrtec every morning and feel great. I quit taking it and I get a sinus infection guaranteed. Just a tip. ☺️
Love your Christmas magic!👏
Courtney says
Yes! I used to take allergy medicine faithfully for years. I should probably do that during the spring and fall again and see if it helps. Thanks Michelle!
