i was watching grey’s anatomy on my phone while i did kitchen chores this morning when a text came in
“good morning madrone! i just saw vardo!”
my friend jennifer caught sight of my vardo on her way to swimming at cuesta college— i am parked right down the street from her house without even knowing it!
so she came over and got to see my vardo and then we went for a walk in the elfin forest
i had read about the elfin forest on atlas obscura and it is such a magical place!!— so much so that i lost my credit card and did not know— then we were in the mother grove of these ancient trees that are 200-500 years old and a man randomly asked if we had lost our credit card and it turned out i had and he had found it back at the lookout where we were sitting for awhile!!
we wended our way along the boardwalk path and vultures with great wings outspread soared overhead
i’m definitely going back
i got to do laundry at her house cause my washer has not been primed or leak tested yet so now tonight i have freshly washed sheets!!!
jennifer told me some places to explore here in los osos/morro bay
i got to try some of her amazing ayuvedic beet, apple, celery salad with cinnamon and it was so super yum i’m going to make some myself
at the end of the day she was heading off on a roadtrip north and i took a walk around the block and saw this wonderful goddess statue and i felt like the goddess was with us all day
