back roads

church in nicasio, california

yesterday i took a drive farther up north to visit some towns i hadn't been to in awhile..petaluma is one of my favorites...i got to have a visit with Jess Brown, of jess brown dolls and the store Maude..she is so extremely talented..must visit if you haven't already! then popped into a few antique shops, and Splendid little shop, which has fun beachy finds furniture and clothing..then got a lavender shortbread from della fattoria..perfect delightful day!
i decided on the ride home to take a back route throught the country-side vs the hwy..it was the most breathtaking views i have ever seen..beautiful rolling hills, cows, horses and even some wild turkeys! it took me through this teeny tiny town called nicasio..and there stood this gorgeous tiny one room church..st mary's.
i love to just jump in my car and go explore..you wind up bumping into the most beautiful things!
happy sunday to you all
