#pride of madeira

Yesterday evening's walk. Everything smelled wonderful. I wonder when they'll bring the fire goats through this year - the meadow got a lot of growth out of the wet winter and the last couple weeks of sun. It's always a high point of the dry season to see them take down all the foxtails and poison oak that have built up over the spring, and there will be plenty of fuel load for them to take care of. Here's to hoping for a relatively quiet fire season, and a lot more summer fog.

"What about Me?" "My dear Piglet," I said, "the whole book is about you." "So it is about Pooh," he squeaked. You see what it is. He is jealous because he thinks Pooh is having a Grand Introduction all to himself. Pooh is the favorite, of course, there's no denying it, but Piglet comes in for a good many things which Pooh misses; because you can't take Pooh to school without everybody knowing it, but Piglet is so small that he slips into a pocket, where it is very comforting to feel him when you are not quite sure whether twice seven is twelve or twenty-two.

First Bloom

It was a hot, clear day out in Sonoma. After a long morning run in the vineyards, I set up in the shade of an oak tree to paint. My mom was very excited about a small Rhododendron that was blooming. It had been years, and this particular bush had never produced any flowers. Perhaps it has something to do with all the rain we received after years of drought. 9x12in oil on linen panel

Eyeball sees all, tells sum. So give it some numbers, and it will add them all and tell you the sum.
