I had a little time to kill before going to the barn 🐴 this week, so I stopped by the now defunct Golden Gate Stables, where I first learned to ride 🐎 in the 80’s. Built in 1939, they have been languishing 🏚 for the past 20 years, waiting for someone to push a restoration funding measure through City Hall. It’s sad to see them in this state but I’m glad that at least they’re still standing. Living in the city I grew up in gives me ample opportunities to visit the ghosts of childhood past, and every now and then, I indulge. #goldengatestables #goldengatestable #goldengatepark #goldengateparksf #goldengateparksanfrancisco #horsestables #abandonedstables #abandonedplaces #alwayssf (at Golden Gate Park Stables) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpWObr7px5z/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Before our NYC trip, I tried to prepare Jason for the likelihood we’d already missed the leaves 🍂 as it was so late in the season. But he kept faith. And, thanks to global warming 🌎🔥, he was right! Leaves galore!! 🍁❤️😍 #leafpeeping #leafpeepingseason #leafpeepingsuccess #centralparkleafpeeping #centralparknyc #nyc #manhattan #fallleaves #fallleaves🍁🍂 (at Central Park, Manhattan, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClsSxy_LDsI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It’s been only 2 1/2 months since Da Flouf 👑😻 (a.k.a. Flouffer, Madame La Flouf) joined our household, but I already can’t imagine our home without her. I just have to keep reminding myself we are just fostering her for her parents until they can take her back. That’ll be a tough day. 😭 Luckily for us, it won’t be for a while. Until then, let the flouf ☁️ fly where it may! #cats #catsofinstagram #fluffy #flouf #flouffylife #daflouf #fostercat #fosterkitty #floufislife (at San Francisco, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiYO9Hjv-Gz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The light at FiLoLi 🌺 in the late afternoon is just sumptuous in summer. 🌞 I could (and did) spend hours here just soaking it in and snapping away. 📸 I sometimes feel like a religious pilgrim 🙏 when I’m here, reverent and grateful to play my small part in its story. #filoli #filoligardens #woodside #historicalhouse #summerlight #gardenphotography (at Filoli Mansion and Gardens) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChJ0kIrOdZY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Dark day in America when the formerly respected (and respectable) Supreme Court has taken away the most fundamental right to bodily autonomy from half our population. WE WILL NOT SUBMIT. FIGHT ON and VOTE BLUE like our bodies and lives depend on it. Because they do. #roevwade #abortion #abortionrights #reproductiverights #reproductiverightsarehumanrights #womensrightsarehumanrights #voteblue #prochoiceisprolife (at United States) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfMzILjvKqf/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Spent time last weekend down at the barn with one of my favorite people and her brood🐎: quirky Pete, crotchety Honey, frosty Phoebe, sweet & hammy Lola, and determined little Pippa🐶. Loved everything minute of it. #bradytherapeuticriding #bradyprogram #bradytherapeuticridingprogram #therapeuticriding #therapeuticridinghorse #horse #horses #sfzoo (at Brady Therapeutic Riding) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbRqP1UOb4o/?utm_medium=tumblr

Sunday Fun Day spent with Jessa and James at a mutual favorite, The Rotunda. View + lobster + popover = happy place.
