Huntington Plant Sale!
April 29, 2012
The Huntington Gardens had another plant sale this weekend. I didn’t want to miss out!
These are my new buddies.
Echinopsis hybrid x 2… Those are the ones with pink flowers.
Mint julep, white flowering rosemary, and Italian parsley.
These echinopsis hybrids were very popular! I took home two! Tom was very helpful and knowledgeable about the care of these beautiful cacti.
After my excursion with the plant sale, I explored the gardens.
The beauty and grandeur always capture me.
The squirrels were loving all the attention too.
Under the shade of the Sabal mauritufomis I was reenergized, renewed, refreshed.
I fought for this photo. They were closing up and the security guys were telling us it's time to leave. I was waiting for this little guy to go into the sun, for the perfect moment. And I told the guys "there are other people behind me, I just want to get this photo." And they gave me a stern look. Meanwhile the lizard crawled into the sun. So I said to the guys "Hey, he's in the sun now. Can I take a photo of him in the sun?" And they *sighed*. Eventually they left because there was a call about a girl getting a bee sting, so they went to attend to that I think. So, I got this shot. Perfect

Hummingbird Bath
This little creature is stunning.
I’ve discovered s/he likes to take baths at the top tier of our garden fountain.

New Mexico Road Trip | March 20-27
Micki and Tim departed LA and I followed them for the first leg of the journey.
A picture is worth a thousand words.
But a camera couldn’t even capture my whole heart.
March 20
- Bright and early on the road. We left at 7am… There was already traffic according to Pops.
- On the road… this is somewhere in San Bernardino.
- Still on the road…
- Micki… I guess she was serious about getting out of LA!
- Snow just outside of Flagstaff, Arizona
- I captured this micro seconds as we passed for my sister in law Janet because she loves bears.
March 21
- We made it! Give me a reason to come back! We actually made it at 2am/3am NM time.
- I’m living with Gnomes!
- Unloaded!!! We finally unloaded the Uhaul but there was still the van to unload…
- Finally. Everything unloaded. The sun was setting…
- Strawberries laced with sugar
- Micki and Marisa made strawberries ‘n bisquick ‘n cool whip. There was dinner too. But that was all gone. No photos.
March 22
- Claire is helping me work at the window seat. I did most of my work that I could at this window seat.
- I took a walk and found this in the garage. Very appropriate.
- I came back to Claire at the window seat… “Look at me! I’m making a basket!”
March 23
- The view outside my bedroom. At night we can hear coyotes howling and teaching their pups how to howl.
- My dinner at Gabriel’s with a margarita before the high school play.
March 24
- We saw Gizmo!
- And Heather!
- This is Dobby. Isn’t he adorable? He belongs to Dionne and Adam.
- Phoebe, Adam, and Pierce
- Dionne!
- Another beautiful New Mexican sunset
March 25
- Good Morning! The view from the gazebo.
- Phoebe! She is a recluse. But I was able to pet her and she let me take this photo.
- This was my working view from the window seat.
- I spotted the squirrel that is eating most of the flowers!
March 26
- I walked around and took some photos…
- Claire…. fluffy goodness!
- Rachel taking a nap
- Naomi always begging for food.
- Zena adjusted nicely to the move. Must have been the drugs! A magical mushroom ride!
- Micki in a hammock at Ojo Caliente
- Sunset at Ojo Caliente with Micki, Heather, and Jamie
March 27
- Rise and shine! My last day in New Mexico for now
- Willy is going to miss me until I come back.
- I love the little things found around the house
- What pumpernickel?
- Tempted in Vega$
- Vega$ to LAX
- Meanwhile, back on the ranch…

The Sun is Dancing in the Sky | In Honor of Charlene Sun
Dear Charlene,
We’ve met before somewhere in the Sky before the Universe expanded.
You the Sun. I the Moon.
I believe this with my whole heart.
Here on Earth, I have met you in the stories that Rain and Nora share with me.
You are here with us as I continue your legacy with Rain, at SunRain Productions.
You were a wonderful person and you were with us today in the park with Rain, Jon, Pixel and me.
We chased the wind.
We laughed. We breathed.
We celebrated life.
You infuse our hearts with beauty and joy.
You are dancing in the sky.
Thank you for being in our lives.
I wish I could have heard your human laughter, seen your human eyes sparkle, touched your kind giving human hands…
But I feel your warmth and your spirit when the Sun beams down.
And I feel safe under the tutelage of your wings.
I picked out one of my photos from Thanksgiving and I am dedicating it to you, Charlene, in your honor.
Honed, forged, rising from fire,
kicked by the heel of the moon,
the sun bows on mountains, it’s stage.
With flare she dances,
enraptures, romances,
pirouettes, prances,
with brilliance that never will age.

The Narnia House
The sun ornament is my favorite ornament in The Narnia House.
I call it The Narnia House because of the triple lamp post in the front.
No other house has a lamp post let alone a triple lamp post!
There are no photos of the triple lamp post in this post.
Here is my favorite sun ornament.
And here are some furry critters.
"Don't touch my blanket! My momma (Rain) made it for me!"
"I LOVE MY BLANKET!"
"I'm serious. Don't touch my blanket."
"i want that blanket"
