Red, White & Blue

For 4th of July, our Independence Day, I embraced the opportunity to dress in theme.  The red leather skirt was a no-brainer.  I match the flag:

It's our tradition to go to the Piedmont Parade:

Where there are many old and classic cars:

And little ones chasing candy:

 

Some scenery in the neighborhood:

We went for a walk in the park:

 

 

See San Francisco in the distance:

Strawberry-Rhubarb Crisp for dessert:

Though one dessert is never enough:

 A rare 4th of July with almost no fog.  We could see the fireworks!

 

Goodnight Moon.  And goodnight to you.

For Memorial Day, we went to Golden Gate Fields in Berkeley.  Catch the reference?  The painted Golden Gate and then the photo of the real one WAY in the distance?  Well, I pulled out red leather and decided to make a day of it.  With a hat, of course. We made a $2 bet but the 17,000:1 odds just weren't hot.  

Hiking to and from the car allowed me to take advantage of the lovely sunshine and the walk to snap lots of pictures.  Good thing, because it feels like it has been raining since.  Anyways, should you get a chance to head over to the Fields for $1 Sunday, it's worth a trip.  Lovely views, as you can see. 

Don't hesitate to say hello, leave a comment or two! Cheers!

P.S.  After the horses, we almost ran over some wild turkey...
