Shopping in Palo Alto's Town and County Village

Today it's supposed to hit a whopping 76 degrees here in

Beautiful Palo Alto 

Sunny California. I will kick off the day by my usual morning

walk with my pup, Sammy. It's the only workout I currently

do and it's a great stress reliever. Latter I will prep my

yard for the vegetable garden that will eventually be going in.
I've already started my tomatoes from seed and they are actually sprouting...yea.

Yesterday I strolled the Palo Alto area. This shopping center is located across the street from Stanford University.

Check out the tile roof line

Her cupcakes will knock your socks off 

I wish you could taste these cookies before learning what the ingredients are.....I made these cookies for the guys at work. They ate the entire platter, rant and raved about how delicious they were, then I broke it to them......"Hey guys, by the way, they are made out of beans" I know I know but trust me on this one, give them a try. This cookie is from a food blog genius. I follow her blog closely and she continues to create master pieces. These cookies will knock your socks off especially if you, like me are TRYING to be careful about what we put into our mouths. Make'em, visit her site and enjoy. http://www.mynewroots.blogspot.com/search/label/cookie

I made this pot  

This was my first succulent wall.
 So easy and so far I haven't killed it.
 

Why there is foam in my fountain, I will never know. I added some floating
flowers that are now at the bottom, that must be it.

I found this table in a small little store in Half Moon Bay

This is my backyard looking towards the house 

I found this great chair at a garage sale while in
San Francisco 

just getting warmed up with photos from my backyard
