Yesterday was brutal. 100º. Us Northern Calif. coastal people are weather wimps. If it’s 90 we start melting. If it’s 35, we get frostbite. So this 3-day heat wave, where it went from high 40’s (at night) to 60º higher, was a shock. Lew and I worked in the office yesterday, whew! At the end of the day I went down to the beach. The water coming out of the lagoon was relatively warm, maybe 60s, and I stood waist-deep in the cool water. The stress of the day vapoorized. Dove in, body cooled. A young local surfer/skater bro came walking by in the shallows, and said, “Paradise!”
A few days ago, some doves flew off when Lesley walked out to feed the chickens, and she reached up and grabbed a feather in mid-air that was floating down. Very delicate little 2″ feather. Seemed like a good omen.
Here’s a rough photo of some rough layouts of the tiny houses book. I am having fun!
I recognise a couple of beautiful Bedfords on those pages… Looking good Lloyd… How exciting, can't wait…
It's a similar weather story where I live in the Pacific NW: people melt at 90 degrees. Just reading about your dip in the water cooled me off! (We're around 83 degrees today, dropping to 64 tomorrow. Boo.)
I was once watching a regal bald eagle fly overhead on a sunny spring day. It disappeared behind some trees and looped back around, directly overhead. Just as my neck was craned to look straight up, a feather from its tail drifted down to me. Good omens like that and the dove feather are memorable life moments. Cheers!
Interesting tiny house from Finland that works as year-round second home. Architects who designed it consider it as a cross between a boat and a cabin. They deliver any port in the world.

Hello from Kentucky! It is finally cooling down here…Love your blog, and are so looking forward to the new book-thanks for the peek. We treasure your other books-our 2 boys (6 and 4) included!
Can't wait to see the book! Was thrilled to see my sketches/designs in that photo pile…
