This tree, taken by the National Geographic folks, is 3200 years old. It had already been alive 1200 years when Jesus walked the Earth. It lives in Sequoia National Park in Southeastern California, or thereabouts. It’s been named “The President.” Not really sure if that’s the name I would have chosen for it. Or what it … Continue reading

Reflections
Good morning! Here’s what it looks like as I write to you. I’m going to miss this lovely little view. Our cozy cabin in the foggy redwoods.

Here’s a pic I stole from the internet so you can see for yourself. When you lived in San Francisco … Continue reading Sunday Brunches of the Past
Imagining Rain over Sunday Morning Coffee
I am imagining rain today….probably because people are talking about drought. It has been a lovely winter in Northern California. The nights have been chilly and clear or if there has been coastal fog (which the redwoods drink), it burns off early in the day. The days have been sunny with highs in the 50s … Continue reading Imagining Rain over Sunday Morning Coffee
