When we came home, I peeked outside. I thought after two weeks of being gone that our plants in our garden would be dead. Instead, I found a 4' parsley plant. My hubster was so surprised that he said, "Someone must have put Miracle Gro while we were gone!"

Went to see the Monarchs this evening. When it's sunny, they drink water from the nearby puddles/standing waters. A fun fact told by the docent.

Taken during a much needed 10 minute walk after school before I went to my 3-hour seminar for beginning teachers. Arch from the time of Junipero Sierra.

   I adore trees. They calm my soul even when they're bare in the winter.
