Lucky Stars

The Groove is bustling today and full of energy, although it is a bit cool and breezy.  It's just a good excuse to run indoors every so often and count your lucky stars, protected from the chill.  There are a few key sun-bathed walls you can find downtown where there is total shelter from the cold wind.  You can roast for a bit and then dash for the next one as you go out and about on your errands.

Speaking of lucky stars, I have a friend who's a creative house painter and who paints the sky up there on the overhead plaster.  You feel like you're flying when you wake up in the morning.  I'd like stars on the ceiling, lucky stars.

Spring continues to feel brisk and blowy out on the bay, which translates to layers of clothing during the day and bundling up at night.  Not too far inland, folks are feeling more heat during the day.  In summer, which is a barely noticeable change from winter here, fog will come creeping over us.  But, for now, we have sun and a whole host of flowers blooming wildly everywhere.  Even the most neglected gardens look terrific.

Which reminds me,  my garden is calling my name, in need of much attention for the next few months.  Lemon tree, herbs, flowers, vines and ground cover are all growing fast, so fast you can almost hear them.  It's good work, and I love to do it.
