Pink Hydrangea

Mindless Monday

Pink Hydrangea

OOOOh I miss this random post of the week. Mindless Mondays, just a stream of consciousness. A brain dump of everything going on.

We spent a weekend of people coming in and out of our rental house, since the owners are selling it. Unsettling to have strangers, masked up in your house during these times. And wearing a mask IN YOUR OWN HOUSE. I’m so done with this, but being careful to not let our guard down to keep us safe and healthy.

On the other end, we got out of the house a few times this week. Two haircuts, a distillery visit (outside with masks only) and a nature hike. On the later I discovered that I need hiking boots and am doing a Labor Day boot sale search today. Distillery visit was to Tuttlehilltown Distillery who makes Hudson brand Bourban and a botanical Gin, which we love. We decide after leaving we had our priorities all wacked, buying liquor instead of food.

Living on the East Coast and continuing my slow gardening obsession you notice different plants, and well Hydrangea’s come in so many colors and shapes. In California they are always round and mostly bluish purple, some pink and some white. But the ones here aren’t always round they are more elongated and so pretty. I planted two Hygrangea’s in my garden. One white and round and one white and elongated. Hmmm me and Rob? Don’t answer that. Let’s see what survives the winter. Right now my little garden area outside of my vegetable and herb box is so pretty. I’ll have to see if I can capture what i see. Above is a pink Hydrangea that was just outside the distillery to be enjoyed by all.

Brain dump done. Moving on to Labor Day shopping.

Mindless Monday

PaperorPlastic_teaandhotchocolate.JPG

It's HOT out, I want it to be truly Fall. I want to drink HOT tea, HOT Chocolate and HOT coffee.  But no, the indian summer is here in L.A., it was a summer beach weekend. Although we were out in the high desert for a historical event this weekend, it was windy and HOT there too. What a crazy Fall. Next week I'll be in NM taking care of some family business, but hope to keep up my posts with maybe a small NM adventure here or there. At least with my family it will always be an adventure for sure. One day I may live somewhere different, at least I hope. But in the meantime I've been trying to take advantage of where I live. Doing local things, like I did a few weekends ago here.

When I'm in a new area I always try and find a cool coffee or tea place. I found this one above on Pico Blvd., called Paper or Plastik. I loved this place, great vibe, good food and flavorful tea and coffee. I had tea the first time and loved how they served it in this cute little pot and great cups.

Also this place is attached to a dance studio, where we were able to peer into a ballet class, oh this looked like so much fun. It's always a treat to find a new place in any neighborhood in L.A., we're so far spread out you have to enjoy what's near you, while you can, otherwise the traffic will swallow you up.

Here's to hoping it turns colder in L.A., if not I'll let you know what it's like in New Mexico soon enough.  Enjoy the week!

Paper or Plastik

5772 W. Pico @ Ogden (just east of Fairfax Blvd.)

This was my pre-meal to get me fed and courage to go network with people I don’t know but want to know. Finally got to @barpisellino for their classic Negroni. Did not disappoint.

Quick trip down to the city tonight to Network. So out of practice but was good to make some work connections. Chrysler Building and Grand Central Station pics never get old.
