Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge is one of my favorite challenges today’s is all About Buildings. This morning I learned a favorite Highway One stop, Pie Ranch had burned in the wildfires last night. I have a couple of photos from a last summer’s visit.

You always think next time I’ll buy more pie or other souvenir…

In face of wildfires and pandemic there is reason to hope. The construction of a Tiny House Village for homeless teens goes on.



If you’re wondering why I’m so enthusiastic about this program, my husband is an adult volunteer. Lately he is mostly doing pick up and delivery. I don’t allow My Mister at 71 to even do social distance work.
For more about this program go to Youth Spirit Artworks

Nostalgia for what is lost and hope for what is being done today: well, I think you just about covered it. The colors said it all 🙂
