This week I have been somewhat nostalgic for my northern roots in the Pacific Northwest. When we visited Mendocino County in Northern California this past summer, we stayed for a day in Ft. Bragg. There is a botanical garden there (appropriately named Garden By the Sea), so of course we had to spend a couple of hours there. Today I remembered that I had taken photos in the garden and they reminded me so much of my verdant roots. So I went back to the pictures in my files for a visit.
Who wouldn't want to live here, even if it's often foggy?
