I really enjoy it when bloggers post pictures of themselves, so I'm posting one of my own. This is a self portrait of me at the lakeside in Calistoga, feeling deeply content. I was amongst trees, grasses, still waters, dragonflies and children that I love. It was so quiet and still, and we (Annie, my darling-6, Casey-11, Cameron-9 & Molly-6) were taking some precious time to be together with paint, brushes and thick watercolor paper. Ahhh!
..a great picture of you Patrice...and so much your mother's daughter..... glad to hear your packing is going well...moving can take everything one's got...this is an important thing...leaving Santa Cruz and all you are familiar with here... a new chapter in the book of your lives....many new experiences await you all.... Love & blessings....
You look lovely and content. Is it OK to admit that I am deeply envious that you are having such a relaxing vacation. I long for what you describe. Keep enjoying.
I was born on April 1st in Berkeley, California. I'm enjoying a life full of satisfaction and challenge alongside my dear friend and partner, Bill, and our almost twelve year-old daughter, Annie. We have a great house and garden that we share with two dogs, nine canaries, and three fire bellied toads. We are choosing a path of living that holds everyone's needs as precious and equal. We're loving an unschooling approach to education for Annie and ourselves. We're trying to live a life with the least amount of negative impact to the enviornment. One way we're doing that is we're really trying to be mindful about what we buy, how we travel, and how we care for ourselves. I will post my ideas, challenges, and celebrations for doing so on this blog. I would love to hear any of yours too!

It's definitely a VanGogh portrait. I have seen those eyes before in a painting by VanGogh.

Great self-portrait!
It is fun to see self-portraits.
Your trip sounds like it was so wonderful!
