Oh, I LOVE those kinds of places - especially when they're permanent.

I'll never stop mourning closure of "The Friendly Farm" a few miles from here. They had (among much else) wonderful baby mini goats, llamas, beautiful Guernsey calves, an orphaned fawn one year - they were nailed for that by the Wildlife Commission Mad, amazing collection of prize farm fowl and a HUGE herd of all-wild bunnies, as only wild bunnies can get to be in number. (But still all pettable). One after the other, a few human babies joined the menagerie - one of the gang.

If only I could find the photo of my older son and his best friend, both seven, their windbreakers FULL of bunnie bumps - many soft heads peeking out.

The hard-working farmer and wife, finally gave up, couldn't make a go of it. Meanwhile, though, they made for the happiest childhood memories of both my sons.

Fab. Saw a robin's egg on the sidewalk the other day, under the street tree in our front yard. It was so blue, I thought it was a toy or something.

I forgot to take a picture.

Today it was broken. Frowner

Today I saw this beautifully restored house trailer on the freeway. Lousy phone camera photo through a dirty windshield but I can tell it looked like it just rolled off the line. It even has the period-correct yellow and black license plate! ThumbsUp

Educated googling. The trolley top is distinctive, no? I initially thought it was a Vagabond, but couldn't find one that looked quite like your pic.

I wonder if those scalloped wheels are original.

Well, it was last night - going over notes before the audience was scheduled to arrive... 2 nights of concerts with the Spirito Singers - an educational choir with a focus on sacred music. Think of it as "club team choir" for 5th grade through high school girls that draws from a number of surrounding communities. The men's component was included to allow for full choir pieces, but has grown to have an equal number of pieces on our own. I joined last year as the group is transforming from "just a bunch of the dads" of the girls to drawing in former college singers with more musical training. Such a joy to have higher level rehearsing and performance back in my life! www.spiritosingers.org

I use the word "today" loosely. As in, some time this week. . .
