Vine Spaghetti

Seen at Swami's meditation gardens in Encinitas - a palm tree with the vines of another plant growing round and round the trunk. It was quite a tangle and quite impressive.

Flea Circus

Southern California is home to nearly every flea on the planet. We always wish it was OUR house getting the tent treatment, and one day, the wish will come true. For now, we are content to watch the circus on the corner.

50 Looks Darn Good!

It's Deb's birthday and we managed a teeny celebration at Ruth's Chris. I think 50 looks pretty good!

Fly Away Home

It's spring and the ladybugs are out in full force. My students feel they must show me each and every one. I blow a kiss at the bug and tell them to let it go eat aphids in the garden where it belongs.

$10 Tuesday

This is what happens on $10 Tuesday at Wine Loft. The wine was actually pretty good. And it was a GR8 price.

Levana's Garden

We love to garden - my second graders have planted potatoes and carrots so far and we are going to plant sunflowers and strawberries next. Our garden helpers let us taste sweet peas and sour lemons and the kids know the difference between mint leaves and weeds. I do love watching this garden grow.

Crack Cupcakes

Sprinkles Cupcakes opened up in La Jolla Village and judging by the line that stretched out of the store and around the corner, they are either giving them away or lacing them with something addictive!
