sebastopol, california. 1961. well before viniculture's* greedy sprawl. my three girl cousins lived there, and it was always an adventure for the little san francisco girl. that's me in the goat cart. the girls are behind me, tolerating the spectacle. their daddy was leading the reluctant goat along.
i loved going there, and maybe that's when i knew that i would not always live in the city.*

Awwww, and I *like* California wine!
The picture's cute.
thw wine is great. i drink it.
but the glut of vines is a sad thing, and it has changed the face of the sonoma and napa valleys forever, including the destruction of most of the heritage oak trees.
