Hi folks, and welcome to the thread, Jamackarsh,
Kat, I hope all's going well. I don't know how you manage such a gypsy existence.. I guess you just need to keep your possessions to a minimum. I hope all your furry charges are behaving themselves. My darling and I have signed up to foster animals on behalf of people who are taken to hospital or prison. We just have to have a home visit now, and then we'll be set to go.
I love the sound of the CA warmth and the spring flowers. I'd love to visit that neck of the woods. Here we've had plenty of lovely sunny days with blue skies this year, and my snowdrops are pushing up fast. I have daphne flowering at my back door, and a white camellia blooming further down the garden. A large yellow dogwood is a splash of colour in the winter. I love the birds best, though - they bring the garden to life in the winter - bathing in the bath, visiting the feeders, and pecking around looking for tasty treats. A heap of shredded material has some interesting looking holes - maybe a hedgehog has taken refuge in there. I'd love to get my top garden landscaped as a winter garden with lots of silver and white (especially white hellebores), plus a small water feature but there are too many higher priorities. I'll feel I've accomplished a lot if I can manage to get the hellebores put in.
Syria, I loved to hear about your visit to the hotel. The food sounds gorgeous.. It's such a lovely treat to go away somewhere different. I should follow your lead, and book a night or two away - somewhere like Perth, which has a theatre, lovely buildings, and beautiful countryside and castles nearby.
Jamackarch, I hope you enjoyed your walk. It's such a great idea to get out on good winter days. One of our recent sunny days, my boyfriend and I went to a nearby hill with a folly and swans in a little loch, then a meal out.. It was a lovely treat.
Given what I've been writing above, my "Be good to my bod" goal for this week is to improve my view of my garden - maybe buy those hellebores finally, and find someone to put them in for me.
