Talk to me of Mendocino
Closing my eyes I hear the sea
Must I wait, must I follow?
Won't you say "Come with me?"

This hand-painted glass ball is from Mendocino on the northern California coast. It was given to us by a friend who loved the place. We visited Mendocino a few times while we lived in San Francisco. In addition to the dramatic coast, the town is charming, filled with inns and restaurants, and is home to a large community of artists and their galleries. It's worth a visit if you're in the area.
This ornament brings back fond memories of Northern California.
It looks like our cold spell will snap on Friday. The high pressure system that's been keeping us cool is moving off and a warmer system will bring some rain in off the North Atlantic. Temperatures are expected to reach into the double digits!

That is a beautiful ornament made even more beautiful thanks to the memories of your friend and Mendocino.
