A Walk Around the Neighborhood

February 13th, 2015 by Karen 18 Comments

Boo! Happy Friday the 13th from Novato, California.

Actually, this black cat’s name is Boo Radley. That’s what I named him. 🙂 I saw Mr. Radley today on my walk around the neighborhood. He’s your black cat of the day. For the record, you’re crossing his path. He’s not crossing yours.

This is the hill that Tabs patrols on his walks with me. It’s his favorite place in the world. 🙂

This has been a pretty mild winter for us so far. We’re already beginning to see some signs of spring, and flowers are starting to bloom.

    So pretty! We’ve had a really mild winter up here in Oregon and I’m really thankful. The last couple were hard on the plants, it was so cold, but like you we have buds coming up! Yay spring!

    Wow!! Looks like we are having an early spring. We (Vancouver, BC) too are seeing the same thing. As of yet, our cherry blossom trees are not in bloom. Karen, do you know the name of those big pink flowers? I love them!
    oooh cute black kitty. Hope Tabs is not jealous. 😉

    Hugs from the Great Up North!

    P.S. I might be heading out to San Fran in August. I will be needing your expretise! 😀

      I’m pretty sure those are saucer magnolias.

    Tabs has enough wide open space to wander and roam! It’s nice and green too.

    Yes, spring has sprung. My tulip magnolia has blossomed (one month too soon!) and the petals are already falling down to the ground. Irises, daffodils have bloomed, along with the almond trees and a few roses.

    My black cat was a bit full of herself today and sleepy too. She fell asleep as soon as I rubbed her belly. It’s gonna be a shock come March winds and rain!

    It was so pretty in Novato today! Then again, it was just gorgeous in Marin in general today. I love my winters but I definitely don’t mind Spring coming early this year for some reason. All these spring makeup launches are catching my eye! 😉

    So peaceful and pretty. I am so jealous, it’s freezing in Detroit, it’s supposed to be 4 degrees tomorrow. It does look like spring where you are!

    What lovely photos! Its full on summer here in NZ and we’ve had hardly any rain so the paddocks around our house are looking kinda(ok,lets make it very) brown. Even the sheep next door are looking at the grass as if to say ” I hope you’re not expecting us to eat this??” I for one wouldn’t mind a little bit of rain…..sigh.
    (Funny how we’re never happy for long: its too hot/dry or its too cold/wet/miserable!)

    So pretty. We’re getting another foot of snow today. I’m done with winter and so is Señor Rabanne and his brover Blue.

    Wow, so beautiful! I am so envious that this is your weather in February. I’m in New England where, as I write, we are experiencing another blizzard (12+” snow) on top of the 6 FEET of snow we have from the past 3 weeks…ugh.

    Thanks for the warmth and sunshine 🙂

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
