Carpinteria, CA

After lunching outdoors at the Padaro Grill, we went to downtown Carpinteria to visit the new quilt and knitting store that re-opened. Roxanne's is a delightful store full of fabrics for quilting, kniting and other projects, and the store is known as quilter's heaven, We were drawn to a delighted exhibit.

Quilters love to express their thoughts and widom. We really liked this one,or check out this profound message below.

And there was this one, does not fish well with others!

Have a great week, Cheers Ron & Alexandra

The proteas aka sugarbushes in this picture are a a native of South Africa. Lucky for us they are also grown in Carpinteria. Since the 1970's Carpinteria has been known for its flower growing business that is shipped to retail outlets to Canada and nationwide, as well to the builders of the floats for the Tournament of Roses parade on New Years Day.

Happy Sunday, Cheers Ron & Alexandra

We alwways look up low tide times. We love walking in the new expanse of sand, that will soon be covered up as the tides come in. Today, our companions were a variety of sandpipers with long bills digging for crabs, clams and other delicacies the receeding tide reveals.

Wishing you a wonderful week ahead, Cheers Ron & Alexandra

Today marks the beginning of the 25th Avocado Festival in Carpinteria, California, and will continue through Sunday. Admission is free. Carpinteria is where we live, it is a small beach town known for having one of the safest beaches. Peace Love and Guacamole is the theme of this year's festival.

California is known as the Avocado Capital and produces 90% of the nation's crop. The majority of California avocados are grown on 60,000 acres between San Luis Obispo and the Mexican border. California avocados grow year round, and one tree can produce 500 avocados. Carpinteria has numerous avocado ranches, and after tasting many avocados, we usually buy from the Carpinteria growers as we feel they are the best tasting. Of course, this is just our humble opinion.

AvoFest differentiates our town from other towns. It is the brand of the town and they take it seriously. We have guacamole contests, live bands on three stages. One of the local bands, Spencer the Gardener from Santa Barbara recently released a new CD featuring the song, A.V.O.C.A.D.O.

Happy Friday, and don't forget to have some guacamle! Cheers, Ron & Alexandra

This photo gives new meaning to living on the wrong/right side of the tracks as many of the fabulous beach homes in the Santa Barbara area are very close to the railroad tracks and the noise of the passing trains.

Happy Friday, Cheers Ron & Alexandra
