My Wanderings 2022 - On my Walk - Through the Magic Carpet in Pacific Grove, California

Before Phil and I ever moved here, we admired the beauty of Pacific Grove.  We would look at the images of the pinkish/purple magic carpet online, dreaming of living here. Not a day goes by that I don't enjoy and feel grateful for the beauty around me.  It has helped me cope with losing Phil.  Each one of my walks is filled with the love and memories that he left me.

 

"In 1943, living in a tiny cabin overlooking Pacific Grove’s Lovers Point, gardener and self-styled adventurer Hayes Perkins (1874–1964) began to clear a poison oak-covered ocean bluff in Pacific Grove.  Perkins’s hand-water the coastal bluff with a mix of shrubs and South African drosanthemum floribundum, a succulent of the ice plant variety. Over 14 years he single-handedly created a nearly one-mile-long pathway into a dazzling springtime carpet of fluorescent-purple blooms, a floral “Magic Carpet”. Named Perkins Park in 1950, the garden plays an important role in the town’s appeal as a resort destination."

I'm still working on my video skills.   Having fun and I have a lot to learn!!!!!

Beach Day!

A wedding bouquet on the beach and pink skies on my mom's birthday.  Mom celebrated 97 years today.  We all missed my dad today, he would always make mom's birthday special.

She is moving to Denver at the end of this month to live with my sister.  I hope to visit very soon, waiting for them to get settled in.

Happy Birthday Mom, I will see you very soon.

For Phil

Mom told me to tell you that she loved you.  I know you knew, she welcomed you into her kitchen, a special privlege.   Not to mention as you went through chemo and radiation, she sent you a card everyday.  Heavenly hugs!

We all miss you Phil.

Needed to ground and center myself today.  Took my morning walk around the tidal pools. It was a very low tide and many treasures to see.  I took pleasure being as quiet as I could and watching the activity around me.   Crabs entertained me, I saw small fish and noticed the color in the rocks and plant life that surrounded me.  I don't know what I would have done without these moments while I was a caregiver and the habit is serving me well today.  

For Phil

I miss you very much.

Life was incredible with you.
