Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
Wouldn't you know that after I wrote yesterday's post, THE big political flub of the season came down. Of course, you could say that my one sentence on Hillary addressed that 🙂 However, yesterday was more than just making a fool of herself. Now, there has been plenty written and said about it already. And... Continue Reading →
And because I am trying to avoid surfing the 'net while watching the AI finale, yet it is odd to watch and not blog....here is a picture of trees that flower (top 5 search hit). My favorite and a so cal staple, the jacaranda: A gorgeous tree that lines older streets in So Cal just... Continue Reading →
I rewarded myself for working mad hours this week by taking off at 2:45 yesterday and meeting two friends at Torrey Pines. One was from out of town - camera in hand much like Robin! - and the other lives here though is a recent transplant from the mid west. Of course, that fabulous book... Continue Reading →
Thanks to a visit by Robin, I got to spend a day off work doing my most favorite thing - touring coastal San Diego's most beautiful view points. She takes the most beautiful pictures so I did not even bother trying to compete, but a couple of times I could not resist so these are... Continue Reading →
All pictures except for the bird taken with my Blackberry as I went on about a 5 mile walk around the neighborhood around 4 this afternoon. This is what is blooming in people's yards right now 🙂 Snapdragons at the entrance to the Catholic church A common succulent used as hillside landscaping - a large... Continue Reading →
Flowers from the backyard this weekend. Mini daffodils and star jasmine. The jasmine are taking over the back wall totally now and I love it. I have a very tiny yard - more of an extended patio vs a real yard in the back and it smells so lovely right now. I spent a couple... Continue Reading →
After many weeks of strictly indoor exercise thanks to rain and schedule conflicts, I finally got out for a walk this morning. I didn't get moving until after 10:00, but it was nice to be lazy and putter first. After much indecision about what route to take and what to bring with me, I finally... Continue Reading →
I found the close up floral setting on the camera and took it around the yard today. The detail is so awesome! Had a great time at the ballpark both days. The Padres sucked, but the atmosphere and seats were great anyway! SP came with me today and we enjoyed our usual pre-game meal at... Continue Reading →
We celebrated with my parents and both boys yesterday. Today I am in pre-surgery prep mode so I was happy to have the day free to clean the house, do laundry, select recipes for the week and get groceries. One fun item - I am boiling local lobster tails tonight as a treat. They were... Continue Reading →
I love this collage option in Picassa! I took these on Saturday from around my yard. Finished cleaning up and cutting back from the winter frost too. Lots of weeding still to catch up on, but it's certainly looking colorful again. Films are being delivered today. I will call to verify tomorrow :->
