We all know how the world feels right now. I live in Los Angeles in a small apartment that felt like it was closing in. And, after weeks of COVID dread, national heartache, all culminating in smoke, all I wanted to do was get away. The best decision I ever could have made for myself was to book Mary's heavenly canyon getaway. Honestly, I think this stay has fully made me a canyon person. I woke up every morning and did yoga on that dreamy deck. Watched the hummingbirds while drinking tea. And then was ready to use that damn fine WIFI to make all my coworkers jealous over zoom. I brought my dog and we had so many adventures around the property. I think she might be a canyon dog now too. The place is stylish, tranquil and that kitchen is STOCKED with appliances and spices. I am already planning my visit in the spring. Until then, I'll take the memories of my week at Mary's place with me to make the world feel a little less dark for even a moment.
