Howdy
I'm back from Arnold. We had a great time! I was excited to see the Plumeria blooms opening this morning. It's basically a stick for 8 months of the year. Lovely fragrance even at this early stage. I didn't take many photos while I was there, too busy relaxing. Here's my friend's nice cabin, with outdoor seating on 2 sides. You can seek out the sun or shade. Manzanitas are plentiful in Arnold, I snapped a photo of their bear box surrounded by them. Came home with a new sticker for my waste bin, and a new t-shirt from The Lube Room (cool bar we stopped at to wet our whistle before playing BINGO with the locals). Before we left, I was in full sweat inspiration mode. Now, of course I'm searching for that spark. Aloe 'Yemeni Orange' first bloom stalk toppled over. There are a couple more coming, and they do look a bit sturdier. Gasteria bloom arching over Ptilotus & Phylica. My surprise comeback stand of Dahli...
