It's good to get out...


Went to Water Bar in San Francisco for dinner and were astounded by how beautiful this place we call home is...we travel, come home and say "Gee, that was almost as beautiful as here." There are a plethora of other reasons to travel, all of them good, and there are as many reasons to be glad we live here. Lucky us. All of us.


Everyone is complaining about the European weather - cool and cloudy with just the occasional teasing glimpse of the sun. Yeah, but remember these lovely days - you will feel differently when you are baking in the 100+ August heat and you garden is crisp...


The roses are fresh, not bleached by the sun...


...even Sally Holmes who lives - and blooms her head off - in the shade. And does not get diseased, at least not here. And I found the coolest hose...


...at Target of all places. It matches the Japanese Forest grass...


...the one called 'All Gold'. So when I don't roll up the hose because I am trying to sneak in the house and into the shower as our dinner guests are coming out the back door with glasses of wine in their hands...well, I can just pretend the hose is artfully matched to the grass and is meant to be there. Not much I can do about being late to my own party, though. Oh well. Have another glass of wine.
