I got messages from some former students yesterday. I couldn’t message them back, so I’ll just say hi here. Hi, guys!
I was off of school yesterday for Labor Day. I wanted to do something special on my extra day. I decided to go to Temecula. It’s a town about an hour and twenty minutes east of my house that’s known for wineries. It’s also known for Beth going to it every time she visits me, because there’s a school there that is enrolled in her dual credit system.
On the way there, I stopped at a lake that was just off of the freeway. It’s called Lake Elsinore.
I walked through a park by the lakeside, and was delighted to see a fairy ring!
After my brief stop, I continued on to Temecula. There is an “old town” section that I walked through.
There was a historic jail there, but it was closed, so I didn’t see the inside.
There was also a garden store there, and I got a plant. It’s another crested aeonium! I’m so excited! This variety is called “Sunburst”.
Before heading home, I stopped at a winery. It was slammed with people, and had some really loud live music going on. I did not stay. But I did walk past the grapevines on the way from the parking lot.
It was a fun day, and I was so glad to not just spend all that time on the couch.
How delightful! I’m glad that you went to explore some of the cool stuff around you, and for taking us along. You have so many interesting places in your backyard!
I am a believer in the power of water to calm and restore the soul. (Not the ocean though. Nothing calm about that.)
Your jail remark stuck my funny bone this morning. Maybe be GLAD it was closed and you couldn’t go in? I mean…it was a jail and all. 😉
Also known for… hahaha!
