I started blogging tentatively, with urging from Bob, but with the caveat that I wasn't a prolific writer and my contribultions would certainly not be quotidian. So ... I have been very busy... but also not inspired to blog anything in particular. It is a beautiful day and would be a great day to chase kites around the park.I remember the kites up in the Russian River valley years ago when Kali and I came to visit. You took us on a wonderful trip and hike amoung the redwoods. I still have a rock that I picked up that day. It is round, about as big as a softball, dark green and white with an unusual crystalline structure. PS: You can't be off topic, cause there is no topic. Thanks for the pics of your dinning area. Love the fruit labels!!
