I have decided to post those Easter flower pictures. I know that some of you who live where it is still snowing don’t like to be reminded that San Diego has flowers all year round. But others seem to look at it as a reminder of what they have to look forward to…
And it does keep me from talking about the… you know what…
Oh, I am still going to talk about the… you know what… later today…
But I will try to mix it up a little, not just make it another sales pitch…
Because that is the least I can do, and never let it be said that I don’t always do the least I can do!
Now you may have been wondering about the title of this post. It may have crossed your mind that skeletons don’t really seem to fit in very well with the flower theme. But Aunt Sharon is one of those people who likes to keep busy. Remember the pictures of the camping trip where we all tie dyed shirts and cooked fancy food in the Dutch oven over the fire? Well Sharon does a lot of arts and crafts. She makes these really cool Halloween skeletons out of old plastic milk jugs…
She also makes those cool fish out of old CD’s and soda bottles. I just thought I would share that with you.
Also, if you live where there is still snow, you may not remember the taste of fresh oranges, so I will share this picture also…
Spring is on the way, people. Just hang in there.
Pouring My Art Out 
You are NOT going to believe this: I think we are related…..only because I grew up in San Ysidro….which is not even close to Poway…and visit friends in San Diego often…well, semi-often. And….no…we should never meet. Ever.
Oh, man……
I was born in San Francisco, but I am adopted, so I could be related to just about anybody…
I also love the flower in the 3rd pic, so go check with Sharon if you please to get us the name of it. Spring is on the way – I heard a goose fly by today! We still have lots of snow, but the geese are returning.
Do the geese eat the snow?
No, the geese don’t eat the snow, more’s the pity. Maybe if they did, the snow would disappear faster?
You mean it just disappears all by itself???
I know you don’t know this because you live in the land of sun all year long, but up here where it snows the sun gets a little warmer & it melts the snow which waters the ground so the plants will grow. They grow during our extremely short growing season, so they need all the extra water. But at least we don’t have earthquakes & mudslides & state wide wildfires.
I am learning so much.
OK, maybe you could use some of this very useful knowledge in your next book?
I have a planet where it is very cold and it never thaws.
Fantastic fotografy.
Funny how I now think of you when I take flower or sky pictures.
San Diego is one of my favorite cities in the world — just lovely when everything blooms. I have a sister and brother-in-law who live out in Poway — they will never come back to Maine after living there. Beautiful photos — thanks so much!
That is so close to where we live… you better tell me if you come to visit them.
That third flower down, what is it? I mean, besides gorgeous.
I don’t know. Sharon knows the names of all of them.
i knew you would post the flowers..lol
I am just that mean.
lol
Laugh all you want.
