Day trips and updates :)

Wednesday morning roadtrip with mom and mom's mom :) to Pt. Reyes Station... The Bovine Bakery....a must-stop for many locals as well as travelers, for a cup of java and a most amazing pastry... A lap through Pt. Reyes Station...Toby's Feed Barn, family owned & operated since 1942!


Historic building with an upcoming art display...covered in bicycle rims...couldn't find information on this event.... If any friends remember this entry from March 2010 or before.....family property in Inverness....scheduled for a big remodel!
Changes started in Spring 2010..... demolition photo...mom's brother in charge, and in photo.
From March 8, 2010...and here we are now... We visited Wednesday morning...wow progress! The design is a straw-bale home, that will accompany an existing stray-bale cottage. Designed by mom's father (engineer), and is being constructed by mom's brother (contractor)... Take a look :) Quite far along...straw-bales already in....
Brother (in brown) and co-worker working on arched decking pieces during our visit.
I inspected the upper deck....ummmm...ehem! Careful here!
From the old deck, looking towards the new construction...and a hint of "nuckle hill"
And...here's the bigger view towards "nuckle hill!" A West Marin landmark :) From the garden, we looked up towards the older cottage (left) and newer structure (right and higher roof-line)
I sniffed out grandad's WORM COMPOST! Oh yeah! Super composty...and wormy. Wootwoot. Lots of snooter sniffs :)
Mossy trees looking towards the Pt. Reyes National Seashore, Vision Road area. Quite a spectacular area....lots of great hikes...and recent sightings of mountain lion...
Checking things out....
Whispy clouds blowing in the next day storms...new roof-line.
Ahhhhh....but must leave you with a shot of where I ended up upon returning to MY neck-of-the woods! Run time...corral time...pal time....and mud time!
Have a most wonderful weekend my friends....we are watching the roads in hopes to hit some snow...but waiting for a better weather window! :)
