 I'm pushing myself to post these while I still have the excitement from the visit(s) flowing through my veins.  Sophia, Ivan and I stopped for a quick lunch after David's garden.  David was texting Ivan "hurry up, this is the best garden in northern California!" Marcia Donahue's Garden.  Backing up a bit.  Her signature clay beads hanging in the first photo - there was a similar "necklace"  hanging on a large Eucalyptus tree in that empty spot below 👇.  The area was cleared.

Sunday visits, part one

Sunday morning, I got up early - had some eggs & coffee and ran out the door to get to Berkeley!  I stopped to pick-up Ivan & Sophia and back in the car to head over to  David's house  for the first house on the open garden tour.   The house across the street (not a through street, a sweet little cul de sac) was for sale.  I'm dreaming of buying the house & spacious .79 acre lot and becoming David's very best friend! If you enjoy looking at real estate and have a million+  dollars getting dusty, here's a link.  Kensington (Tracy's) house   With a stern reminder to myself to not go too close in for photos - back up girl!  Hopefully to show off the overall feel of the space.  My first photo, I can only laugh at myself.  But come on, that's gorgeous!  Agave ovatifolia.  My apologies are in order,  the first few photos are "foggy" - it was a gorgeous morning, but my camera/phone was dirty.  Thankfull...
