Mom feels bad because she's been neglecting her duties here in Blogville. First, she left all of us alone for over a week. [Note from mom: It wasn't easy for me. It's not like I slept at all without my fur monsters, ya know.] Then, she flew off to Napa Valley for some sun and fun. [Note from mom: Hey, someone has to keep tabs on the Valley and make sure the wine is tasting good...] Then, as soon as she comes back, she gets the flu! Can you imagine??? Sick as a... well... dawg. So she's posting a few pics of her vacation to hold everyone over until she's back on her feet 100%.
Note from mom: It's great to be back with my monsters. There's nothing like coming home and seeing five butts wiggling like crazy! Make that six - I was pretty happy, too! I've missed my Blogville friends and will make an extra effort to stop by to say hi to everyone. In the meantime, enjoy the pictures!

| The yard of the house we rented was beautifully landscaped. Here's an artichoke plant... |

| A fig tree (see the fig?)... There were also olive trees, rosemary and sage bushes, you name it. Just beautiful. |
 |
| An orange tree... |

| I woke up to this sight one morning. Calistoga is known for hot air balloons. Gorgeous! |

| A closer look. |

| A hike up Mount Saint Helena offered some great photo ops. Can you see the hummingbird in this picture? He was a little faster than my shutter! |

| Who could resist a photo of Dogtown (population now 33)? Near Point Reyes Station, CA. |
Hope you enjoyed these. More to come as mom sorts through her photos!
