A BEAUTIFUL HOUSE IN RIVERSIDE, CA

 Yesterday we went over to Riverside, about 40 minutes away to visit the botanical gardens at the UC Riverside.  I was surprised that on a Wednesday they were closed especially because it's all outdoors so I figured it didn't have anything to do with Covid.  Anyway, they are now only open a few days a month from what I can tell.  

We then went over to the Mission Inn a really unique amazing looking place with mission style architecture and according to Wikipedia is World Famous.  It is something to see for sure.  I'll post photos later.

Afterwards we drove through some of the old neighborhoods and this particular house I really loved.  

HERE WE ARE - PRESENT AND READY - FOR FIRST DAY OF SUMMER

 It's not my favorite season but it does lead into my favorite season which is Fall.  Anyway - I haven't posted much at all on my blogs lately.  We've been busy with the yearly yard clean up which usually has to be done by June 1 every year .   It's a typical thing in the mountains the county requires to keep defensible space around properties in case of fire. Memorial day was busy up here but oddly enough it wasn't really loud.  Every other year and holiday you can hear the activities at the lake from my house and the bands and the volume usually so loud.  

I don't go swimming anymore and years since I've put on a bathing suit but I still enjoy going over the seeing everyone enjoying the lake.  It was crowded on Saturday but on Sunday not so much.  Every path around the lake which had a good size shoreline  had people with canopies put up and enjoying the day.  

These photos are just from the front part of the lake across from the Grocery store parking lot.  All weekend the sky was amazing with high clouds.
