Sunshine today! One weak rain storm down; another on its way. It looks like the approaching storms will keep getting smaller with lots of sunshine in between; more and more sunshine. That is what I have been looking forward to. I have seeds started in peat pots, sitting on the table on my front patio… Continue reading SEEDS AND CALIFORNIA SUNSHINE!!!
It was so nice, these past few days of sunshine. I did some planting and trimming and enjoyed the blue skies and bright sun. But...the rain has returned, and snow in the mountains.

As I was walking along one day... I met a thought that came my way. It was lying there all forlorn... An idea I once had that went astray. How sad, that little thought, That came, and went, and fell away; To lie here upon the road; Lost, alone, and forgotten where it lay.original poem… Continue reading THOUGHTS THAT WANDER; IDEAS THAT STRAY
