Signs of Spring are Here

{Potted daffodils brighten up my workspace}

I love this season for all of nature's beauty: beautiful fields of bright yellow mustard in Napa, daffodils, and warm (but not too hot) weather. Even though it's only March, Spring seems like it has already entered the neighborhood!

Farmers Market

I’m a sucker for farmers markets. The atmosphere buzzes with energy: local produce, live music, fresh food, good smells, and pretty much good vibes all-around.  I'm a huge fan of the Wednesday night farmers market in Davis. (We call it the "far mar"). And since Napa had been my home-away-from-home for the last couple months of summer, I needed local far mar fix--so I decided to check out the scene outside the Oxbow market in downtown Napa:

 {Hitting up Mark's the Spot food truck for a yummy breakfast slider--trying to see if I can catch where Mark and his truck will be next to get my next dose of yum here.}

What is your favorite thing about your local farmers market?

t.w.e.n.t.y.o.n.e.

It was my 21st Birthday last Monday, the 29th. I was delighted to have my parents come  visit me in Napa this past weekend. It was absolutely fantastic and they definitely made it extra special for me. (Thanks again, Mom and Dad!!) 

Twenty one marks a very important year in my life. It also just so happens to be the age where I can now legally enjoy a glass of bubbly. (yay!) To be 21 years of age is required for most job positions in the U.S. wine industry and it's satisfying to know that now more opportunities await. 

Below are just a few of the many photos I took this weekend in Napa. Enjoy!
