Things I’ve seen in the past few days when I didn’t have a camera handy:
A monarch butterfly flitting from one zinnia to another, all the way down the row of flowers. Then he turned around and did it all again. I saw this two days in a row.
Hummingbirds in the flowers in the secret garden, on the geraniums in the barrels, and out among the wild flowers on the edge of the property. I also saw one pop up right in front of us on the porch.
A squirrel sitting on the bench on the Funky Patio. He jumped up from the bench to the rim of the birdbath and took a drink.
It’s never boring around here.
Some photos from yesterday:
We had dinner with one of my former students (who is only 13 years younger than me) last night. Don knows him, too, as they acted together in plays at the Old Globe. He’s one of the funniest people I know, so dinner was full of laughter. We had such a great time. Then we went back to Rick and Doug’s for dessert – pie! – and the talk turned to politics. A lively discussion ensued. We are all of the same mind about the dumpster fire that is this administration.
Doug and me.
James and me. James is looking a little skeptical about whatever Rick is saying.
James and Rick.
Don was taking the pictures on my iPhone.
We had such a great time!
Today? I’m off to get my car inspected.
Happy Thursday.
