zuma beach :::

yep.  we're pretty much having the best weekend ever.

 

i kinda missed the boat on five-senses-friday for many fridays now, but i'm suddenly in the mood to participate now at this moment - even though it's not friday, so here goes:

 

seeing:  glossy, sparkling waters, dark - dark nights, swollen oranges and lemons weighing down the branches in the yard

hearing:  lots of strings concerts going on around here + drums and singing by the two youngsters,  that one windy night that kept me up for a while, my youngest's cough that just wants to hang around

tasting:  homemade paella + sangria with farm-stand fruit, homemade honey soda (made with local honey + natural mineral water mmmm),  school-bought pies + getting better at making my own granola 

smelling:  salty air, sweet peas growing in the front-yard-garden, freshly grated ginger for the ginger-brew we are brewing, eucalyptus sea salt in the bath

feeling:  hotter air than usual, soft sand beneath my feet, the fire-pit at night - warm on my cheeks

 

hope you're having a lovely long weekend as well.  :)
