Happy 30th Birthday to my nephew Massimo, aka Max!!
Sorry I am not there to celebrate on the day, but such a big birthday wants more celebrations so we can do it again when I get there.
Also, as I prepared these images to be shared, I realized that: not only is it time for new photos, but that it is loooong time for new photos of his sister, my niece Greta.
So be ready, both of you, as I am putting this in my schedule for when I return.
🩵🥳🎂

For al Orchid Lovers like me!!
I have just found out that, on July 26-27 San Francisco is hosting another wonderful Orchid event featuring glorious artistic displays, workshops and plant sales.
I have been to several of these events and love them. I even shared a photo-rich post on the blog for your pleasure, if you would like to get a preview. You can find it at the link in my profile or, if you prefer, you can comment ORCHIDS below and I will be happy to message you the link directly.
Orchids in the Park will take place at the SF County Fair Building, at 1199 9th Ave, SF and is organized by the San Francisco Orchid Society. You will find links to purchase tickets at the top and bottom of my post.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend!

🌟 NEW POST ON THE BLOG! 🌟
“My Foray Into Home Baking As A Business”
In this new post I share my personal experience between 2023-2024 when I found myself selling my baked treats like hotcakes and, for a while, seriously considering home baking as an actual business.
I share how it all happened, what I learned, the fun parts, the exhausting ones, what worked and what didn’t.
Whether you are thinking of starting a home baking business or not, I hope you will find it interesting. Besides, there are lots of drool-worthy pics in there to lift the spirits and tempt the taste buds.
You will find the link in my profile, under “Latest Post”, or you can comment BAKING under this post and I will be happy to send it to you directly.
Happy Wednesday everyone!

Lately I have been missing the Redwoods a lot, especially now that it’s starting to get hotter.
In my part of California, they only appear here and there, maybe one or two at a time in the landscaping of a garden, but there are no forests. For those, the Redwoods need the cool mist of the coastal fog.
Which is why, when it came time to create the new Calendar Wallpaper for June, I thought of Redwoods. I hope their peaceful strength and wise energy will radiate through the images all the way to you.
Available for laptop/desktop, iPad/tablet and iPhone/smartphone, the monthly calendar wallpaper can be downloaded for free as it is my gift to you. You can find the download link in my profile, or if you write REDWOODS in the comments, I will be happy to message it to you directly.
Happy June everyone!
