# 25 Green
Green provides a beautiful background for a lovely lavender aster,
but green marsh in the foreground takes over the view of the redwood trees in the background.

Fortress Ross wooden door
#27 Favorite Recipe
I don't make my favorite cinnamon rolls exactly like this anymore since I no longer eat eggs or dairy and I use whole wheat flour. But oh my, they are still delicious!

Love that door from Ross. I'm going to copy that cinnamon roll recipe! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHi Willow! I have been back from my galavanting for nearly two weeks, but am just now catching up with your galavanting and latest projects :) Belated Happy Birthday greetings to your babies! I enjoyed the photos of your coastal trip. I got to tour Fort Ross years ago but remember the trip mainly because I saw a field full of exotic white calla lilies and another field that had new white lambs frolicking about, on our way to the fort. I am enjoying your daily photos-such discipline and interesting content! I am celebrating your new air-conditioning and appreciating ours since it has been an unusually hot summer here. Your weaving is lovely! Spinning in public is fun, isn't it? I am glad you are getting some spinning done while prepping for the new school year, too. My sister who I pictured in my last post, while she was celebrating her 50th wedding anniversary, long ago earned a scholarship to Stanford University and attended there a year. It is fun to know that you have a connection to Stanford, too, through your son. When I think of my life's purpose, I too have embraced, "The chief end of man is to glorify God and enjoy him forever. " xx
