Thanks so much, Nia! Glad to read your comment! Hugs back and have a wonderful rest of the weekend with yours. Take care! ๐
PS: We are desperately needing rain, as you know. Any rain drop goes to the bucket.
Thank you. I was advised by a published poet that I, too, was a poet before I was 18. She said I spoke like a poet, and I needed to write things down and not toss them idly away in conversation. I’m afraid I was heedless. ๐ I hope you don’t mind if I put that snippet in a post one day. You’ll know you inspired it. Warmly, Brenda
I’ve always wanted to see San Diego. I always end up in SF, LA or Palm Springs, sadly. Maybe one day… All the best to you and yours, too. Warmly, Brenda
Winters are tough. But they kill off the bugs and give me a break from pollen. NE has moments of perfection, and lots of nonperfection the rest of the time. ๐
That’s very true. But all places have ups and downs, and the human race has commonalities, independently of the geographic boundaries. I miss the well defined seasons of NE, although Boston may have characteristics of two or more seasons on the same day … ๐
Hi Maria! Thanks so much for your comment! Yes, little rain and still a big drought all over California. Hope you get rain in your region. Take care! ๐

I love Palm Springs and San Francisco! We lived for four years in the Boston area. NE is so beautiful, but we could not stay because of the winters.

Now, now. Don’t get personal! LOL
