Can you see the bluebird on the birdhouse on the left, and the swallow on the birdhouse on the right, on the top photo? These ’stand offs’ go on every spring. The bluebbirds and the swallows fly in circles, and fight about who will live in these houses. I buy mealy worms (yuk) and put them on [...]

Just how many clothes are too many?

When we returned home from spending the ‘winter down South’, we discovered some mother nature damage, and we’ve had to call in a restoration crew to work in the three rooms in our upstairs. T and I have been working outside since we got home, and getting estimates to have the work done inside. Now a crew is coming and will be cleaning, sorting, and throwing what isn’t salvagable.
T and [...]
Where do you people live!?

I read these gardening blogs and look at all the pictures of flowers blooming and vegetables growing – and I wonder where you all live!?!? Where ever it is, it’s warmer than where I am, and I want to move there, too! Look how tiny my babies are – and some of you are eating [...]

I’m paying for my sedentary winter.

When we left last October, plants were still green, and some were still blooming. I just couldn’t bring myself to cut them all down. I did take in all the ‘yard art’, cover the patio furniture and potting bench, and clean up outside a little bit.
I’ve been spending a couple of hours outside each day [...]
We’re here!

We know we are home when just outside of town on the West side, are beautiful columns of natural basalt, between the lanes of the freeway. A couple years ago, the-powers-that-be got a bee in their bonnets and decided that the columns were dangerous, and would have to be taken out. Crews had even begun doing [...]

With my growing excitement about hitting the road again, and moving closer and closer to home, was a little sadness – as we left my daughter’s house (Cindra’s). We arrived in the midst of their moving out of their 4,500 square foot house. Which they had filled! We knew that the timing wasn’t great for [...]
Oregon! Green, green Oregon!

We spent several days in an Oregon State Park on the Rogue River. I’ve always loved Oregon – there is just soooo much green. The moss is a dead give away that I’m back to Oregon, alright! It covers the trees. And the trees are all so tall and stately in the park.
The river is beautiful [...]

Hope you are all enjoying your Easter. And spring! I thought I’d share just a little of what we saw in California. I always love the incredibly looooong trip up from the South to the North of California – and really enjoy all that grows there.
Here we are in the “Olive Capital of the World”. [...]
