- When I moved to the San Francisco Bay Area from Southern California in the early fall many years ago it rained every day for months. I was sure I was in the wrong place until one day in February I came around a corner by the University and was blossom bombed. Pink clouds appeared in the mist then came into focus as the flowers from hundreds of fruit trees wisely planted up and down every road in town. The weather can suddenly change, lightning may strike or petals fall and every thing is different. That it happened when I realize I had found my home.
- The men we honor today in the US where change makers, with a capital C. When was there a time a small but dramatic time of change for you.

Haha! Enjoy the weather- it is variety that helps us appreciate what we have.

You are so right about variety. I should be careful for what I wish for especially when it may start raining and go on for 40 days and 40 nights 😉

red roses I’m sure I would look for them too. In Oklahoma we had the red bud trees in the spring, Around Easter often.

Your lovely cherry blossoms remind me that the President’s day holiday not being just about having a “day off”. I wonder if anyone even tells Washington and the cherry tree story anymore???? It does not matter whether it was “true” or not, as a child it was a lesson to us to be honest.

The line between myth and legend and true truth all blurs. But the lesson is the what’s important. Spoken like a real teach, Carol.

Ah, my favorite time of year is when the shrubs and trees bloom. Hasn’t happened here yet. Probably about a month before things will bloom. When I moved from Ponca to McAlester, I thought I had come to the end of the earth!!! This part of the state was about 20 years behind the rest of the world. But it has now been 50 years as of last month that I came down here. Beautiful lake now, and less than 30 miles east of us you get into the Oklahoma mountains. Really beautiful. I wouldn’t want to go back to northern Oklahoma now for anything. I tell people that even though I didn’t like S.E. Oklahoma 50 years ago . . . . now, “I am one of them”. lol
Great pictures Carol.

What a great story of “change” Neal. I have many similar feelings about going back to Ponca. It was pretty but the people were… some might read this so I’ll say not my kinda folks.
