  1. Checked the weather. 7:49 pm and still 90F outside. Five degrees less than predicted. Small favors. #NorCal

  2. Am looking at a bumblebee working my desert willow blossoms in my back yard. (Yep, I have desert@plants doing quite well in my #NorCal garden.) The bumble is so huge I for the life of me have no idea how it flies! Its fat!

    Well, we finally did it! Removed ALL of our lawns (aka grass) - planted drought resistant plants, laid down black weed barrier, put down mulch! On the other side we removed the lawn, the unground sprinkler systems, added a 3rd driveway, put up a retaining wall and laid down river rock!! Done - now we won't use all that water for the lawns! Put up 2 greenhouses in the back yard and growing tomatoes, bell peppers, cucumbers, jalapeños, ancho chilis, and a bunch of herbs! retired fun!!

  4. 90 @ 9 this morning. Gonna get warm-ish today.

  5. 130+ yr old #StBrigid #Catholic school in high income area of #SanFrancisco shutting without warning. #SF Arch Diocese was among the first #California dioceses to seek #bankruptcy protection after sex coverup #settlements and legal costs from multiple abuse victim cases, soon followed by regional #NorCal clergy officials in Santa Rosa, Oakland and Sacramento.

    The school’s closure comes as SF #ArchDiocese reaches $395m settlement with some 500 abuse victims, just weeks after #RomanCatholic Diocese of #Oakland announced it would shutter 13 #EastBay parishes, blaming financial ruin from hundreds of child #SexAbuse lawsuits against its own #Priests.

  8. @amenonsen @CiaraNi Imlive in a pretty extreme environment for orchids…#NorCal so High heat and low humidity. For me, dendrobiums are rock solid. Of course, if you have the money to burn a greenhouse is lots of fun.

    Columbus & Broadway

    This is a colour street photo in portrait format of the front of a building brightly painted with the figures of various famous jazz musicians playing their instruments on a back drop of local street scenes. Columbus & Broadway, San Francisco (2013). The facade of the building is viewed obliquely from an angle of about 45º and captures 3 floors above the ground level. The building is a city low-rise apartment block that's neither new nor old. In view are the three floors with three windows on each floor, some open, some closed. Some with curtains drawn, some open. One with laundry drying below the window cill. Stretching upwards from the base to a little above the centre of the photo and dominating the image is the mural of a middle-aged pianist dressed in a jacket and blue tie, playing the piano with sheet music laid out above the keyboard. Above the pianist and in the upper left corner is a further middle-aged man wearing glasses, shirt and tie and playing the clarinet, Benny Goodman perhaps ? To his right and in the upper right corner is a man playing the drums, his head out of view. The background of the facade in the lower left corner is light blue with the gaps between the musicians being filled with local scenes with street signs, a windmill, sailing boat, car and high-rise in view. This is one of the bright and colourful murals that decorate in and around San Francisco's Chinatown.
