This is what it looks like now. It's still not filled up all the way, but it's getting there.
Then, we took a drive over to Folsom Bridge to see what it looked like.
We had lunch at a restaurant over looking the bridge. We shared a Mediterranean pizza with feta cheese and Greek olives, Yummy.
After that we drove over to the town of Folsom. I love this building, and it's the color that I'm so fond of right now, mint.
Stopped to get some chocolate and go to a few of my favorite shops.
It was a fun day with my son.
It's raining hard this weekend,
and our lake is filling
up even more.
up even more.

That's a lovely lake. Very interesting photos you've got, thanks for sharing and do have a nice week!
ReplyDeleteSO thankful to see pics of folsom lake with a higher water level. :) and i also love the little town and all its shops - and might i say that pizza looks delish! happy day for mother and son. priceless.
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful day with your son!
ReplyDeleteOh that pizza!!!!!
Love the old hotel! I take it, the main street of this place, is into preserving old architecture....
Folsom, is that the general site of the (made famous in song) prison? :-))))
Very pretty pics!
ReplyDeleteSheri, What a fun day with your son. The pizza looka very tasty. Glad your lake is filling up again. In the previous post....I bet those trees smelled so good. Keep exploring and posting pictures...it's enjoyable to read about. Blessings, love you girl, xoxo,Susie
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Sheri,
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely outing with your son, I am so glad that the two of you share so much joy together in similiar things.
I am glad that you are having rain, what a blessing that is.
The pizza looks wonderful, and since I just returned from a long walk, I sure would like a bite!
Love,
Jemma
Sheri,
ReplyDeleteWonderful news and photos of the lake filling up with water. Very nice outing you and your son enjoyed. Do I spot artichokes on that pizza? YUM. You know what Sheri - Dorothea's Shoppe sign is just so adorable and happy I would have to go into her shop and purchase something and hopefully her bags are printed with her shops sign too. I always enjoy your photo essays my friend. Have a lovely week ahead.
xoxo,
Vera
So nice
ReplyDeleteThe last photo is my favorite. :-)
ReplyDeleteI hope you get a good amount of rain.
I love the relationship you have with your son. Special! I pray that for me and my boys as they grow up too. They will want to share a day with me like you did this.
xx oo

Happy new week love from me Ria x
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely place for you and your son to enjoy, Sheri! The lake is lovely and I imagine with more rain it's filling up more. Times spent with our grown children are so special. I loved seeing all of your beautiful photos! ♥
ReplyDeleteWhat a great day with your son. Lots of fun places to visit.

I love that mint color too and it would be wonderful to see all the lakes that have been low get back to normal. A few hours away with one grown child at a time mean so very much. We get too busy for that sometimes but it is well worth it.
ReplyDeleteNice photos... must be wonderful to stroll along the lake!
ReplyDeleteYummy pizza... like feta too!

Beautiful pictures Sherri. So glad that you had a wonderful day with your son. That pizza looks divine.
ReplyDeleteWe had some rain, but not as much as you did up North. Hopefully we will get more tomorrow.
Have a great week.
Hugs,
Mary
So special to do something nice with your son Sheri. The lake is looking good and that is a pretty little town. Loving the mint building :) xx
ReplyDeleteWonderful to see the lake filling up once again! Such a special day with your son. Hugs xo Karen
ReplyDeleteThe first Photo looks beautiful, i love it!
ReplyDeleteAlso the Pizza looks very yummy, sooo delicious :)
lovely Greetings <3
And I hope, overflowing.
ReplyDeleteDearest Sheri, what a gorgeous day to spend with YOUR SON. The quaint town....we did that yesterday too, on our anniversary. The simplicity of it all was so celebratory. I saw my horses, got good photos, I was happy. Be well, be happy, and let your cup runneth over.
Hiya Sheri,
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful to see the lake filling up. You guys have had some rain as we have. In fact, reports say it's been the wettest winter on record here in Oregon. Thanks for the share of your lovely lake, the town pics (esp that pizza, oh how I miss pizza!), and always, your good reads!
Have a great week ahead!

Such a lovely day to spend with your son.
ReplyDeleteThe lake looks wonderful ... and yes that building is in tune with your mint colour!
Hope you have a happy week.
All the best Jan
Beautiful Photos Sheri. I'm glad you all are getting some much needed rain. Hugs and Blessings, xo
ReplyDeleteLove that old hotel! Glad to know you're getting the rain you need. I do believe our drought in Oregon is over, now if only the Bay Area would get what they need. Happy March and Spring to you!
ReplyDeleteLove your beautiful world!
ReplyDeleteGood evening dear Sheri,
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful day you had with your son.. The lake is beautiful, and I love this town.. You always take such gorgeous photos.. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you for visiting and for your kind words. Oh yes, the hills in Temecula are so green and beautiful compared to the ones in my area. Everything is so lush in Temecula..
Oh yes, it is raining here too! I love to bake when it's raining.. I baked a French Vanilla cake today...
Enjoy your week dear friend
fondly,
Penny
It's a nice landscape which you are showing to us - I love water very much and it's good that the lake is being refilled now! From time to time I am also having a mother/daughter day. I think it's important to keep the connection and the bond between us. Besides it's always a great pleasure :).
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your time with the kids,
Barbara
Oh Sheri. How wonderful you get to spend quality days with your son. Everything looked like so much fun. And that pizza! Yum. Thanks so much for sharing. Susan
ReplyDeleteSo pretty....glad the lake is finally filling up once again. How fun that you got to spend the day with your son too :o)

Gorgeous lake and the promise of Summer, yea!

Hi Sheri,
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful day you had out with your Son and isn't it always great to be able to spend time with our children.
You will be pleased to have rain there and will be good for your roses and to fill up the lake. Thanks for your kind visit today and I look forward to seeing your pink room when you finish.
hope you are enjoying the week
hugs
Carolyn
Hurray for the water! Last summer it was a crazy rocky drive down to the water to swim in Folsom Lake. I haven't been to Old Folsom in so long. My mom used to take us to see the Indian Grinding Rocks and shop in the Indian Store that had beads and tons of cats.
ReplyDeleteHi Sheri, looks like a wonderful outing with your son. Such special times and memory makers. So glad you are getting the much needed rain. It has been raining here since Sunday. We needed it, so it has been nice.
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by and your kind comment. Hope you have a nice weekend ahead. Blessings my friend. xo
I'm so glad California is finally getting rain again. My aunt that lives in Newport Beach was worried she'd lose her entire garden and I know she wasn't the only one.
ReplyDeleteThat's a darling little town :)
xo,
rue
AMAZING photos dear :) I hope that you had a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteCheck out my pastel colored easter table post :)
Have a fab new week!
