Flowers Flowers Everywhere


I spent 5 days in South California recently and made a trip to the Carlsbad Flower Fields. What a lovely place to spend an afternoon. Nearly 50 acres of Giant Tecolote Ranunculus flowers to brows through at your own leisure. All right on the edge of the pacific ocean. Just Gorgeous

It was a good trip. Spent some time with old friends. Entertained the idea of moving back. Reveled in the weather.  I sometimes wonder just how different my life and habits would be if I had stayed in CA or even moved back now. Would I be happier? An I really even unhappy here in Maryland?

Happy Birthday to Me


Today I am 36 years old. Not so old, not so young. 
I had a good day all in all. I heard from some people who mean a lot to me and a couple of long lost friends. A few people I expected a note from didn't come through but lets be realistic.. I'll give then till Saturday. :-)
I had lunch with with three of the greatest friends a gal could want. Gave 4 piano  lessons. Went for a walk with Molly, a lovely labrador. And drank a glass of earthy cabernet while waxing nostalgic with one of my closest friends.
A good day.

What are we going to do today Brain?


Some days I just don't trust my cats... Some days I just feel like they are plotting. Like I've interrupted there plans to take over the world. I think I'm just slowing them down.
