You'd love it! I haven't been to any of the other islands, but Santa Cruz Island is next on my list.

Love your description of place - this week the plum blossoms in the backyard are my delight. They started out a minty green and now they're an explosion of white petals 😊

"How security and convenience don’t always equate to feelings of ease and contentment, but embracing a certain level of discomfort sometimes does the trick." Swoon! This is a recipe for a healthy life. ♡
