Yesterday my friend and fellow quilt-grouper, Marion, who moved here from Berkeley several years ago, gave me a tour of her recently remodeled house and garden. Magical! She is a woman of many talents, and she designed the garden and the remodel herself:
 |
| Front door with its decorative downspout |
 |
| Part of the front garden |
 |
| Intriguing plant related to foxglove |
 |
| Dining area added during recent remodel... |
 |
| ...overlooks the living room |
 |
| One of Marion's quilts |
 |
| View of Tomales Bay and Pt. Reyes Station from a deck |
 |
| Marion's office, with view |
 |
| Her hand-dyed fabric in an adjoining studio space |
 |
| Steps leading down to the back garden and her new studio |
 |
| The studio, at right |
 |
| Studio porch, with cat |
 |
| Interior, where she makes jewelry and dyes fabric |
 |
| Enviable space and organization! |
 |
| Drawer of jewelry-making supplies |
 |
| In the garden |
 |
| A vegetable section, with drip system. Everything in the garden has its own gopher cage. |
 |
| Above and below, inside the house: Everywhere you look there's something intriguing |
In the afternoon, Jerry and I took a bike ride on the Cross Marin Trail, starting in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area and then crossing over into Samuel P. Taylor State Park.
 |
| A stand of redwoods |
 |
| A fair number of campers on the holiday weekend |
 |
| Signs on the bathrooms |
 |
| Plenty of empty picnic tables |
In the evening, more work on the quilt:
