And still of a winter's night, they say, when the wind is in the trees,
When the moon is a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas,
When the road is a ribbon of moonlight over the purple moor,
A highwayman comes riding—
Riding—riding—
A highwayman comes riding, up to the old inn-door.


- that's what the moon reminds me of
tonight ... a ghostly galleon.

i'd like to make a blanket thank you
post to all of you for your kind words.
they were much appreciated.

we are approaching the spring equinox
on march 21st when we will have the
opportunity to "let go of the past and
reinvent ourselves to fulfil the vision
we hold inside ..."

sounds good to me <g>

It's way too nice, he said, rubbing salt in the wounds of the right coasters. Feels like May in the Bay Area. I am SO tempted to gamble with tomatoes and corn, even tho it is probably a month early.

Had a whooping good surprise while chasing the cows out of my place. (Looks like they are coming thru the creek, which is usually fenced only in the dry season. Ugh). But I digress. I found a Live Oak, about 3 feet high, which I didn't know about.I get oak seeds (most folks mistakenly call them acorns) in the fall when I visit my folks, and stick them here and there. It's a bit colder, wetter, and hotter, depending on the season, than they are used to, but they seem to do ok. I've got one I was able to transplant, which is about 3 1/2 feet tall now. The furthest north I've seen them is just above Ukiah. I'm getting prepared for global warming.
