Part two of our week at Helen's House. A little walk to Abbots Lagoon.
These birds are flying because I was running at them. ;)
Hi House.
The house my Great-Grandpa bunny designed and built.
You can see the ocean out to the west and the bay to the east. You can hear the wind blowing through the trees and see their tops swaying. Its a magical place. I didn't stay in this house this year, but we drank wine and did yoga up here, with this view. Even just spending a moment up here makes you feel at peace
Hi House is a glass tree top studio. It originally had orange shag carpet, a murphy bed and Eames furniture. I know all of this because I saw a picture in an old Sunset book of the carpet, I remember the awesome murphy bed, and we still have some of the original Eames furniture.
Of course you take a glass tram up to the glass house.
Or you can walk up the back stairs. :)
Hi House at night. These tram lights you can see to the right did not work for a very long time. So having them lit up at night brings back such happy childhood memories of running around the property by flashlight, watching movies, viewing meteor showers from hill sides, and telling stories in High House. So many blessings in one place.
Our Friday foggy afternoon at North Beach.
A perfect sand dollar. All smiles.
Lena's fairy-god-parents. Evan and Emily.
Papa and Nonni
Evan made a dream catcher from beach finds.
Our last day at Helen's House. Cloudy and perfect. A mushroom expert took us around the property to see what we could find. This is what I found.
My favorite climbing tree growing up.
The trees Skyler and I were married under.
So many memories from the past, and so many more yet to make.
Thank you Inverness, Helen's House, my family, for making this all possible for me and for Lena.
It will always be my happy place, my heart.
