When we got married on this Saturday of Labor Day weekend 34 years ago we didn't think about it being a busy holiday weekend and it might be problematic for celebrating anniversaries. This year though it wsn't a problem as we didn't feel like making any big plans. When we decided to get married we didn't want to wait a long time so we picked the first three day weekend as Larry didn't have any vacation yet and we were able to get a whole two nights away and we honeymooned in a little cottage in the Northern California redwoods. The place is still there.
This morning I went out for my morning walkabout and found a mysterious garden gnome had deposited this beautiful glazed birdbath in the garden. It didn't take long after filling it for the birds to start using it. The first visitor was a scrub jay and after having flicked the water with its beak testing the water it plopped right in and took a bath. The larger birds will really enjoy this and we will enjoy watching them.
We took a drive down to historic Folsom and walked around and wandered in and out of the shops and galleries. We had dinner in Roseville and then wandered on back home up the Auburn-Folsom highway. There are some crazy HUGE estates along there and we were surprised to see some monster homes on Eureka Road too...crazy big.

After we got home I made brownies and we had our anniversary dessert...YUMMY! Triple chocolate brownie, vanilla bean ice cream, walnuts, chocolate syrup and whipped cream....
