The Rainy Day Ranch

Hello and welcome to the Rainy Day Ranch, which actually is (for now) a little cottage in Laguna Beach, California. Laguna Beach doesn't evoke images of rainy days or ranches, but that's the point--someday, I hope to be back in a place with four glorious seasons and lots of open space, but for now I make do with my Rainy Day Ranch state-of-mind.

I'm by no means a real cowgirl. I'm an urban cowgirl at best, if by "urban cowgirl" you mean someone who sits at a desk most of the day but concocts little adventures. I don't necessarily want to be "one with the land," but it would be nice to have a small connection. I like my job, but I work to live--not the other way around.

The Rainy Day Ranch is like my imaginary friend that helps me strike a balance between sassy and simple, fancy and frugal. Let's see where this takes us.
