March Daisies


How can you not like daisies this time of year? This year March did come in as a lion and left like a lamb--in mellow sunshine.

Got tomatoes from Navlet's, so here's hoping for a bomber crop this summer.

Spring's a Comin'


On beautiful early March day I weeded our garden. When I came upon this flower, the "weed" begged not to be pulled. It so enhanced our lush hill in the back I felt the least I could do would be to capture it's essence....before dumping it into my green barrel.

Yosemite Snow

Well, at least my blog two posts ago showed I was quite prepared for a winter snow at Yosemite. Just as we headed for breakfast at 8am on Wednesday, snowflakes gently descended upon Yosemite Village. An hour later we left the diner to pack up and leave, only to find the snow 7 inches on our car.

What a wondrous site. We were so enthralled with the sites, we took another two hours to sight-see a winter Yosemite. Our guest from Hawaii always had a wish to visit Yosemite. In the previous two days he had seen the grandeur that his mother used to talk about her honeymoon over 75 years ago. So he had his wish satisfied. However, he had never seen snow fall. Like a child whose wish was fulfilled by a white Christmas, he became ecstatic at living a second lifelong wish.

BTW, this is El Capitan, in winter storm, 2011.
