Love the cassis color! I have a cream colored oval dutch oven, but it's such a pretty color. I want it.

Boiled peanuts are the best! The funny thing is that Asian food places occasionally have them too. I like mine spicy with tons red pepper flakes and a huge glass of sweet tea to wash it down with. Yummy.

I was literally just walking past this garden this morning. It's so pretty and I wish that my neighborhood (Inner Sunset) would transform itself.

My parents are "snowbirds" that live in Sun City in Phoenix and their yard looks like that. My parents only live in Sun City for half the year and spend the rest of the time in Canada. You have to remember that not only are these retired people that have difficulty maintaining their yards as they get more advanced in age; often times this is their winter home and they're gone for months at a time. The rocks are obviously low maintenance. Also is always around whether it be rocks, grass or garden. After all you can never account for peoples tastes.

Personally it's not a look I go for, but Mom and Dad love it and whatever makes them happy is ok by me.

You are so lucky to have that kind of space in SF esp. in the Mission. I have a huge balcony, but it's not super private and I live in the Sunset where the fog abides. You guys did a wonderful job with the space too it looks super comfy and inviting.

Back home in Virginia honeysuckle grew wild everywhere and the scent would just waft along. I loved it and still miss the scent here in California. There were also big huge magnolia trees that smelled amazing. Though here in San Francisco we have lavender, rosemary and the occasional eucalyptus tree.
