A Drive Along the Coast

Dennis and I took a little drive up the coast.
We drove south to San Elijo Beach and then went north.

San Elijo Beach

Stopped in at Moonlight Beach in Encinitas.

Made a pit stop at Tamarack Beach in Carlsbad.

Ended up in Oceanside, watched some surfers and families enjoying the beach.
We had a very nice drive.

Blue Whales in Southern Cali

It's pretty exciting this late summer to see Blue Whales so close to shore. These huge creatures are really s0mething. They can really get your heart pounding with excitement.

Hope you enjoy these videos:

New Spices to Explore

I found an Indian market right here in town!
and bought some black mustard seed, curry leaves and hing.
These were a nice addition to spices I already had.

So I begin by making dal, it is an Indian staple.
This one is yellow lentils and tomatoes.
The air is full of aroma as it cooks.
mMmmm mmmm

It turned out beautifully with green beans and rice on the side.

How is it?
Delicious!

"Jehovah himself gives the saying;

The women telling the good news are a large army." -Ps 67:3

At the Farmers' Market with a Vender we love.
Notice the stall behind them, it is one of my favorites!

This young man makes ceramic pendants and cups and also paints.

Quick lunch a Rubio's!

Had to get a picture of this summer car!

A day at La Jolla art galleries, gelato, picnic dinner on cliffs above ocean, sunset.
Watching the stars come out reflecting on the waves! Beautiful!
Nice way to end summer.

Notice my skirt? Remember the stall at the farmer's market?
