Voracious reader. Passionate about education. Interested in history. Love beautiful photographs.
Not one, not two, but SIX trolls by Thomas Damon in one place. Yes! Filoli Gardens in San Mateo, CA. Had a lovely time earlier this week walking the trails to find them all, then grabbing a meal at the food trucks and listening to music.

Turns out that bricks of cash are very bulky. Here I am with $600,000 and I think I need a large bag to carry it!

If you are ever in Little Rock, visit the Capitol and inside there the Treasurer of State’s office. They will let you hold all this cash — but you have to give it back.

Back at you with one from New Mexico’s capitol bldg.

Still obsessed with bearded irises because . . . It’s spring and they are gorgeous.

It’s spring and the bearded irises are blooming in my garden! I really like these deep purple ones. All my irises were handed down from my late green-thumbed grandmother. #beardediris #iPhone

Now this is a brilliant idea: smash together a chocolate-filled croissant with a big chocolate chip cookie. Oh wow — it gets two thumbs up! Found at the Farmers’ Market in Nashville.

Was in Nashville recently and stopped in to the Johnny Cash Museum. Cash had a 50 year career in music during which he recorded ~100 albums and 1500 songs! And he championed political causes such as prison reform, civil rights, patriotism, and empathy/support for those less fortunate. What a legacy!

I enjoy traveling to see bits of US presidential history. This is President Polk’s grave (and that of his wife) in Nashville, TN.

This, right there, is a gopher poking up his head and just laughing at me and then ducking down to eat more of my bearded iris rhizomes and daffodil bulbs. Sorry little dude, but I am coming for you!
