I had a dream a long time ago...



In the dream, someone was driving on highway 1 along the Pacific coastline enjoying the gray foggy scenery when suddenly they came across a random hillside of unbelievable breath taking beautiful flowers in full bloom.  It was amazing to see. 

Little did they know that a woman had decided many years before that she wanted to create something incredibly beautiful to share with the world that would keep reseeding, blooming and giving long after she had passed on.  She wanted to give thanks to her favorite beaches near by for always being there for her when she had been at the cross roads in her life.

So for years, she bought large amounts of native flowering seeds from the region and after a while she had quite a huge accumulation and variety of drought tolerant flowering seeds.  She waited for the rains to come and on the right day, she would go up to her hill and create a random act of natural splendor and beauty for spring to make into a masterpiece.

That day was today.

So if you find yourself driving along the coast on highway 1 and see an unmistakeable hill of color and beauty this year, and for many generations to come, please know that you make your own dreams come true.  I just did.
