Finds...
I was tempted, but couldn't buy one of these in California. Who can lug home a suitcase full of rocks? But, in person these are so beautiful. Some California artist has used copper wire and a bunch of sea polished rocks and chunks of recycled glass to create these "things" I don't really know what they are called, but you hang them outside and they accentuate the sound of the rain. Many of you are tired of the rain, but I love it. I just pretend that I live in Ireland. :) So, I kind of wanted one of these, but didn't have anywhere to hang it so I took a picture instead.. But lovely.. right?
Also, I have a new face cream.. huge jars cheap at Costco.. does a great job of keeping the exema off my face so far...(ooh how I hate the exema! ..it's a constant battle).Then, there are the new short sleeve Thomas Pink shirts for summer... They are so beautiful. I would never buy a $200 shirt.. but, I love looking at these. They are sooo pretty!

Little Timmy...
I have a lot of news good and bad. The bad news is my little nephew Timmy is scheduled for surgery tomorrow. He will have part of his colon removed. I wish that he didn't have to have it. He is so tiny and I'm asking that you remember him in your prayers.. he's been in our own every moment. He's been through a whole lot in his first little week of life and we already love him so much. Since we are major nervous wrecks anyway, I'm really proud of Alicia. She's been really tough. The good news is that we are very hopeful he will make a quick and full recovery.
The more good news is that brother Stephen was quoted in the New York Times today. (An article in Brigham Young University Law Review last year speculated that Justice Breyer, who attended Oxford, may turn to the O.E.D. “out of nostalgia for his alma mater.”) Stephen's paper for the BYU Law review... The Dictionary Is Not a Fortress: Definitional Fallacies and a Corpus Based Approach To Plain Meaning is simply brilliant. We're very proud of him.
Life is a roller coaster... sometimes I feel like you can't possibly hold on tight enough.
Bear Flag Fish Company...
Whenever I travel, I try to do some research about the best places to eat. I love the little one-off places that are out of the regular tourist beat, but beloved in a neighborhood. This place is it! If you travel to Southern California... stop here. Fresh, fresh, fresh food. Get the chips and salsa because the salsa is perfect and everything else we tried was amazing. Prices are very reasonable. Atmosphere is non-existent (kind of a dive). Can be crowded.. and may be great for take out. Good for families.. healthy children's menu.. and you'll finish what they don't eat. Fish.. perfect.Bear Flag Fish Co. site has a menu...
And, if you walk just up the street about a block.. there's some killer desserts including chocolate bundt cake at Alta Coffee Shop.

Come with me to Roger's Garden's...
It feels like a secret garden.. California Style
Wouldn't you love to hang this just outside your window?
or have a Saint to pray over your flowers?
These little clumpy violets were so sweet.
Zinnias in a row with not one petal out of place.
Tell me you can't buy happiness? For forty dollars you could have this beautiful bougainvillea to blush at you every day... Sigh...
I love how they mix up the colors making them all more vibrant. Geraniums are huge in California.. Not these lovely geraniums, but some of the plants remind me of Dr. Seuss. I love them all though.. especially the crazy purple trees that line the streets in Long Beach.
Pink Dahlias.. bold and delicate at the same time.
I don't remember the name of this purple one.. but it's dream-like.
The Victory Garden is an idea perfect for our time too!
I don't know what type of succulents .. but they are lovely.
The past decade hybridizers have been bringing back scent in a big way. Some roses almost have a spicy scent. I wish this page was scratch-n-sniff.
The roses even grow over your head.
Of all the fun things I saw on my trip, this is the one I'm dreaming of... strawberry pots for the north fence line. Pretty and sweet.
Lobelia in four different shades.
Wouldn't it be fun to eat a 4th of July picnic on Starfish dishes?
Are these Orchid too amazing to be real? I'm not sure. There are silk flowers too, but if you don't touch them, you'll never be sure... so I don't. :)
The gardener here knows color and texture.
I so wanted to bring you this basket of blue... But, I hope you enjoyed looking at the flowers with me. They make my heart sing!Thursday, June 02, 2011
