we've been looking for a coffee table for EONS now. my mother knows (from experience) how picky i am. i'm so picky that i swear i'll learn how to do everything myself (making shoes,etc...) because i can't find what i imagine in my head. still haven't learned to cobble.
back to the coffee table. nothing doing. we've been searching and searching and went out to antique flea market (aka antiques market) on saturday, walked miles (dad, didn't count it. don't worry) and found zilch. but i'm not alone here, curt's as nuts as i am. he says he's not, but he's picky too. it's fine. we'll find something.

update: we found something! on ebay...it's on the way.



to make ourselves feel a bit productive after the sun-drenched morning, we swung by our favorite hardware store and rescued a little sequoia that's been there for a while now.
curt had his eye on it for some time now...we figured since the little guy's been living down the street from us he'd be well adjusted to the environment and not get too home sick. we picked a spot on one of the slopes with a nice view of san francisco and moved him to his new home.recognize the mulch around the base of our new friend? it's courtesy of our old dead and shredded friends...some from this very same spot.
next project for the day? dealing with our newly diagnosed case of scale. you can read about battle over here.
after finishing the work, we took off for a sunset hike up to the top of our hill. it's pretty amazing right now....all of the almond trees are in bloom and the air smells sweet and like almond oil.we found poppies in bloom, and finally, sunset and view from hill:
and sunset and view through our binoculars:
