There's even peacocks in the trees! You really need to be careful walking under these dudes. They can really bomb you. What wonderful alarms they are. They remind me of Benny Goodman warming up!

Parrot Butt
There are all types of animals in the park. Wild parrots are abundant. Can you see the little, green, fuzzy butt of a parrot high up in the California Sycamore?
Walk in the Park
My dog loves to hate gophers. He also loves to take a car ride to the park to dig for his greatest foe. Today, during his outing I was messing around with my camera. Here is a California Sycamore in winter. The burnt orange leaves have almost all fallen and those fuzzy balls are dangling like leftover Christmas ornaments.

Christmas Present
Christmas this year wasn't nearly as fancy as Christamases in the past; but it was pretty enjoyable nonetheless. Rather than spend hours doing back breaking amounts of dishes, everything went into the dishwasher. I do believe this is an invention that is worthy to be considered as one of the best things to civilize mankind. Don't you?
Christmas Past
In Christmas Past, the china would come out with the crystal and silver. Everything sparkled and was very special. This Christmas, only dishes and linens that could be washed by a machine were allowed. Most of the menu was made in advance: Lasagne, zucchini casserole, salad, minestrone soup. The steaks were the only things that needed to be cooked that day. The cold, rainy weather made it difficult to have everything ready on time. There was a bit of a delay due to the fire troubles and a nice long distance phone call from my son.
Even though it was a long day, everything seemed to turn out okay. Here's wishing the very best in 2009!
