home again home again jiggity jig

i'm home!  

not only did i forget my camera adaptor i also brought my ipod charger instead of my iPAD charger.  hah.  it does sort of work.  but i don't recommend it.

i motored home in the early afternoon through pastoral scenes of old california.  the hwy 150 route through the mountains & valleys is quite simply, breathtaking.  breathstealing.

scenes i inadequately captured on my camera.  the photo above is actually just a few miles from the cabin on hwy 33.

i also saw a lovely heron when i first arrived on friday at sundown.  he was standing on a rock in the creek just below me.  i watched him for awhile - until he flew off.  amazing to see such a BIG bird take flight.  i took a picture in my mind.

the love shack has only slightly less square feet than moss cottage.  so i feel right at home puttering around inside of its smallness.

i ventured out onto the suspension bridge near the cabin this time.  but only a little ways.

spent a lot of good time listening to the creek.  and reading. and writing. and stargazing.

i'm sorry it's over so soon.  but not sorry to be home with catboy & catgirl.

If you fancy a cabin stay of your own you can check it out HERE.

I explored the cabin website and fell in love--what a perfect place!!! Not practical for a long weekend getaway for me so I think I'll look for a place in TN. I can definitely see why you find that place so rejuvenating!!

Now I'm seriously considering a trip to the Love Shack; it seems like the perfect place to disconnect with the outside world and reconnect with oneself!

It looks lovely and sounds like a perfect holiday weekend. I'm listening to the audio version of The Memory of Running and enjoying it very much. Thanks for sharing.

ok...crazy! I just was just saying "Home again, Home Again, Jiggety Jig" last night as we arrived back from the SAME area! (My kids think I'm crazy when I say that by the way - glad someone else says it too, lol). We had a great time doing that funky train ride over in Fillmore (near Ojai). Such an interesting area -you're right. My son goes to college at CSUCI and we're looking forward to doing more exploring in "the VC" soon~

Thank you Mary Ann for sharing the cabin info......it's a bit pricey when one does not have a job but it's on my list

Loved our weekend, I feel more relaxed. I really wish I could visit there one day and who knows maybe I will. Glad your back and thanks for taking me on your trip.

Such sweet bliss!!!! What a treasured place to kick back, soak in and absorb. I remember with fondness your last venture here. I was tucked away, hiding in a corner and enjoyed every moment. I remained quiet so as not to startle you by my presence. I am so glad you share your journey's with us here. I've traveled a lot since discovering your blog so many moons ago and dropping in for a cupa and some relaxation is always something I look forward to each day!!!!!

I read that book, picked it up at the dollar store of all places, and really liked it. I always come back to your blog, it is like an old friend :)
