In case you were curious about Napa's weather around Christmas: no, we probably won't get any snow. It was up around 60, though a chilly wind was blowing, yesterday, and the next couple of days it'll be in the fifties and raining. Not so different from the Pacific Northwest where I spent ten years, actually - maybe a little less rain...
We went to Sonoma square yesterday and looked at all the quaint shops and restaurants. I promised my husband (a super cook) a Chrismtas present from Sign of the Bear, a wonderful kitchen shop in the square that has everything from $7 sour cherry jam to $300 ceramic dutch ovens. It also has a dozen kind of honey dippers, butter holders, tablecloths, a wall of fancy knives, holistic kitchen products in scents like lavender and coriander, strawberry hullers and grapefruit spoons...) We came out with some new gadgets for the husband and some new tea for me (a mix of lemon balm, white tea, and lavender...mmmmm.)
We had also gone shopping in the mostly deserted shopping center in downtown Napa, not a lot of shoppers around and not even a lot of filled store fronts. I'm wondering what Napa city can do to revive its downtown. Of course, Annie's Chocolates (where we procured many holiday treats for our families back in the midwest) was still hopping.
