Mendocino garden, continued
More happy and beautiful memories from late May at the Mendocino coast.
A Mendocino garden
In late May this year I took Gus with me on a trip to the Mendocino coast, and we stayed in a wonderful house with a lush and inviting back garden. Among all the colorful plants and flowers, the most eye-catching were the gorgeous rhododendrons. Although we both enjoyed our stay, at the time I felt the house was larger […]

Some local color and other details from our recent neighborhood walks.
Flowering Sonoma

Once I’d arrived and parked, I soon found myself wandering aimlessly among the […]
