We had a great weekend. The entirety which was spent outside. We frolicked with the family up at Meder Street Park, where Layla had me imagining again what it would be like to be little and have grass reach above my head, it must be a mysteriously outstanding world I thought. There is a tree up there, I call it the giving tree, it is perfect in every way, we sat we ate lunch and played with spring grass. It is a day that will be ingrained in my memory I am sure forever. 

I surfed twice this weekend and had so much fun doing it. The mornings have been brilliant, and the waves were just so fun to play in. We played tennis, spent a day at the beach playing volleyball and sipping beer just hanging out. And today, I took a spectacular ride up at wilder ranch. There is a Natural shelf atop the "mountain" (I call it this because it takes an hour of up hill pedaling to reach) that is one of my favorite spots on earth (next to Cowell Beach) where there are three park benches. If you get there early enough like I did today, there is nothing but you and this vast open filed that looks onto the ocean, green with trees and brown trails, spring flowers. Today it was so clear you could see all the way to the tip of the bay. So I sat there for ten minutes and listened to the birds and just enjoyed being. It was spectacular. On the ride there must have been 25 deer, and one beautiful red fox. We took an afternoon walk and spent the whole day downtown, ate lunch and enjoyed the sun. It was a great weekend!
