Two weeks...

Gems (2wks)-  Snow time with a very dear friend, featuring a multitude of hawks, almond orchards in bloom, incomplete 3-point turns with stuck-in-snow action, no need for chains, collecting ideas for next year, sketching time, great cooking, quiet solo walks (and more hawks) and snow.  Sharing fancy chocolate during the moments of what threatened to be a dud of a film.  Informal book group.  Mickey Pancakes with my favorite nephew/"puppy".  Funny students and funny meetings. Learning I look awesome, thank you, with green hair.  Farmer's Market Tour=Pure Genius.
