first, let me say that I am sorry (kind of) for my april fools joke yesterday, but let me also say how touched i was by those of you who had minor panic attacks at the thought of STILL blog going away. i love thinking about all of us sitting at our desks in the morning with a cup of coffee or tea, looking at STILL blog together. i’ve talked a lot about community on this blog, and you are about the best community, digital or IRL, that i could imagine. as for today’s image, it was an apple blossom in a perfect organic garden, below a perfectly pruned carmel valley vineyard, in perfect california light, on a perfect warm spring morning, before a perfect drive down the pacific coast highway. my daughter has narrowed her college choices down to only california schools as of this afternoon, and i think that’s just about a perfect decision.
