Gloomy Monday
January 14, 2019I know the song is Gloomy Sunday but today’s Monday… And it’s going to be gloomy all week. A storm system is passing through and it’s bringing us lots of rain. This is a good thing for us Southern Californians because our dams and lakes can stock up water, ready for the next summer heat wave. I really don’t like being on drought alert…my plants suffer so much! So I’m glad we’re soaking up all this rain. Plus, it’s clearing up our skies and making everything feel fresh. Not to mention it makes you want to cuddle up all day…

Friendship
/ September 18, 2018A friendship that lasts even across the miles is rare indeed. And even though there are phones and social media to keep each other “in the know” about life, nothing beats actual time together in RL. It’s…
Just Another Day at Legoland
/ March 4, 2018Legoland is one of my favorite theme parks. It’s not as crowded as the others and quite low key. Although the rides are limited, they are enough to entertain this Vertigo-afflicted lady. Lol. The Legoland Miniland is…
A Cloudy Day
/ March 2, 2018I love it after it rains. The clouds get fluffy and the sky looks like a painting. The parts of the sky not covered in cloud patches show off the most refreshing blue color and it makes…
“Bee” Beautiful
/ January 30, 2018I don’t normally like bees and steer clear away from them. But this bee was just irresistible in his busy-ness that I had to snap away. Maybe he was just waiting for someone to notice him because…
