colors

At the Oakland Museum of Art, old perfume bottles remind me of a perfume museum I visited with Adina in Barcelonaaaa good times. Pretty colors and lots of random pieces of art around the museum kept me entertained.

sight glass and other sites

Cool coffee space, a little kiosk right now but soon to be a larger coffee shop, I love the logo! Some photos from around the city and the farmers market! We got a lot of rain the weekend, it was refreshing.

back in action

Persimmons are back! I forgot how much I loved them. I can't believe it was only a couple years ago that I had a persimmon for the first time. They almost taste like crunchy pumpkin pie. They have almost helped me forget that peaches and nectarines are slowly disappearing from the markets. I still can't believe it's almost halloween! I barely started getting used to the fact that it was October!

bloom

My first sunflower bloomed, so exciting!

rainy farming

At another garden in San Francisco this time. We visited Hayes Valley Farm to interview some people about what they are doing at the farm and understand more about their motivations to be there. It was awesome! They were really nice people and we learned so much in the 3 hours we were there. It was raining at first... but it was still fun. We moved some mulch from one area to another and planted some seedlings! They take volunteers and give classes and do potlucks each Tuesday! Check it out when you are in the city.

fog town

The fog came back today... reminding me it's time for fall. We've started collected succulents by taking trimmings here and there, haha. There are so many different kinds! Found some stray Euros in my market bag, keeping them around till my next visit to Barcelona, I'll be back someday : )

new tote!

farming

Goat's milk, goat's cheese, goats!, chickens, gardening, and goat's milk ice cream! One of my classes is all about home grown sustainability, it's fun to visit local farms and see how they transform their backyards to produce their own food!
