The Coffee House

Gary A. · Jan 17, 2015

Back from walking the pooch. About to dive into the roses. Also yanking up a ton of nasturtiums that go nuts about this time of year. The going is slow because prior to every cut or yank I gotta inspect the plants for chrysalis, we have a lot of Monarchs in the backyard.

It's so windy out here, the buffalo and longhorn are blowing past me! Wind now 25-35 up in the mountains a bit. Too much, not staying much longer.

Took a break from yard crap. Planted a Princess bush. Having a bit of lunch on the patio. 75F, picked some Mandarin Oranges which are as large as my fist and about to pick some Meyer Lemons ... just a very pleasant day ... sipping this minty iced tea and watching turtles and koi mess around in the pond.

Missed a Monarch emerging by a few minutes. The chrysalis was in the roses that we by-passed and after our lunch the butterfly was standing near its chrysalis with the wings still dripping.

It's true that a dry 75 is easier to handle than a humid 75, but don't discount the relative strength of the sun. When it hit 70-something in Arizona, that sun felt very intense and burny. And that was January sun. I'm a Northern girl; I'm not used to that at all.

Went for a walk today. 4.5 miles and a 24-exposure roll of color.

Reading this thread reminds me of a real coffee house. 6 people all talking to themselves. :biglaugh:

i know right!! i think a lot of it is usually people aren't all here at the same time like in a chat room. so it is leaving, trying to keep up a convo . Forgetting or not knowing what was going on. just starting again, over and over.
