Gorgeous! Looks like Sarah Bernhardt. Mine are just in bud stage (with ants!)

Saw this yesterday. Being a Gershwin lover, I thoroughly enjoyed it.  | |||

The Ahmanson in the LA Music Center. Took my mother there -- it was her Mother's Day gift.  | |||

The local elm trees have soooo many seeds this year! Lots fallen and plenty more still up there. I've never this many before!

I chased the sunset yesterday. It wasn't an original idea.  But we all got our pictures!

Today after dropping Shorty off at his SAT's and still having time before the local library book sale, I took a good long run. I ran past this home, another landmark right down the street from Louisa May Alcott's house. Can you guess who it belonged to without googling? One hint..Thanks to the man who lived here and George Washington Carver, many school children in America eat their favorite lunch.

My first guess was J. M. Smucker, but a quick check at the Smucker website revealed him to be an Ohioan, which I had suspected since the company headquarters is in Orrville, Ohio. My second guess was Thomas Bramwell Welch, the grape juice man. Reading his Wiki revealed him to be an Englishman who became a New Yorker when brought there by his emigrant father. However, thinking about grape jelly led me to the developer of the Concord grape, Ephraim Wales Bull. Given his Massachusetts roots, I'm guessing that what we're looking at is his house. If it is, it looks better than it did in this picture I found...  Here is a plaque memorializing his contribution to viticulture...  Big Al

Big Al, Ding, Ding, Ding! It was restored last year and put on the market for over a million. Yankee Magazine article of the Bull house listing

Sigh...Our office is being rehabbed, down to the studs..So several depts have moved to the vacant office across the hall for our temporary digs for the next 6 months. Ick. I moved today as my work load on Fridays is light, Monday not so much...By Tuesday I will be joined by about a dozen more folks filling in the plastic tables and offices just off to the left.  My group followed me like puppies as they watched me set up my computer and hook it back up. I have now been asked to help them move as they are convinced they do not know how to plug all the cables in...sigh.

The cable with the green dot goes to the jack with the green dot. Purple to purple. It's like Garanimals! The cable from your monitor goes to the jack with the picture of the monitor. Sheesh. Back in my day, you practically needed a PhD to hook up a computer. Sheesh. Charge 'em by the hour. BTW, your back will be much happier if you put your keyboard and mouse on the table. Four inches above your knees would be good. Who designed those chairs? FLW?
