Celebration Time!

Bouganvillea - one of my favorites but glad I don't have to prune them.DD now has her Class B license! She passed the driving test today with flying colors, including parallel parking the bus which she aced on her first try. She said it was hard to get to sleep last night because she was so nervous. She will sleep well tonight. Guaranteed.

Her first solo will be this Sunday but she won't know what route she gets until Saturday. The buses run seven days a week and until she has some seniority she can be assigned to any RTA shift and route. She knew this going in and is okay with it - for her the benefits far outweigh the inconveniences.

The coyotes are already howling tonight and it's not even dark. They definitely get Andy's attention but Sam sleeps through everything - ah, the life of a cat.

i love bougan....those flowers. I like the dark fuscia best. None here. Too cold and snowy. i remember the first time I saw them....on Catalina Island on a trip with my parents. I also like bottle brush for some reason even if they are the dirtiest plant on earth and can take paint right off a car. YEA for DD, flexibility and determination.

Mom - some here say "beau" and some say "boo" but everyone get the "villea" part just right!

Rosemary - DH hates pruning them, scratches everywhere. Have you seen the orange ones? Catalina is beautiful, some pricey properties there now. DD is tired but happy.
