| I love the reflections and colors!!! |
found There are those wonderful days when everything just seems to sail along smoothly. You take a walk in the early morning hours while everything is fresh and new and covered with morning mist. You just happen to look down at the edge of a bush and low and behold, you have now been given a five dollar bill still damp from being out all night. You don't even bother to look around to see if anyone dropped it because the bill is cold and no one has been around where you are walking. Love it!!! Thank you, Universe.
spied Then as you continue to walk feeling the moisture of the spray from the ocean waves, you hear the amazing call of a falcon. Looking up where they are known to nest, there it is. A Peregrine Falcon!! It is boldly sitting out at the edge of a hole in the massive Morro Rock, calling for its mate. And then a bird circles the nest site before gently gliding into the entrance. The two disappear inside, chattering to each other and then they, one by one, exit their home. Flying in different directions, they go out of my sight. Simply amazing to see and watch these fast flyers. What a gift. Again, thank you, Universe.
shades of green The recent rains have been sent from above to nurture the grasses on the hills surrounding the Central Coast. There are many different grasses lending to various shades of green throughout the hills. It is magnificent to see. The gifts continue. The predictions are for additional rain storms to continue the end of January and through February. Let's keep these hills green! Gotta love the Universe.

| Cactus with blooms! |
cactus It is interesting to find cactus growing here. There are, however, several growing along the edges of Morro Rock along the drive to the jetty. I am uncertain if many people actually notice them since they are close to the rock and I suspect visitors are focused on the waves crashing over the jetty. This is probably a good thing since there are signs of a few who have marred them. Sometimes one just has to wonder what people are thinking. Or are they?

| People actually stand on the tops of the huge rocks!!! |
crashing waves The force of the waves crashing over the jetty is tremendous. Most of the time it is a gentle splashing and folks will climb on the rocks to get a closer look. Occasionally they get a bit too close for my comfort level, when the ocean is producing large waves that rise high over the jetty. I have heard that some people have slipped and gotten trapped needing to be rescued. I am grateful that this was not the case on my recent visit.

| The feel of the open cafe's and hidden court yards!!! |
Paris Had some free time and decided to fly to Paris for a quick trip. (NOT!) One of the nursery's in Cambria has painted an entire side of one of their buildings with street scenes and set up charming tables and chairs for customers to enjoy. We were there on a beautiful sunny day and it felt as though we might actually have been there. It was totally lovely!!! The nursery was having their after Christmas sale and some of us found some great deals. Joyce & Dean!

| Blooming jade plants at Carol's! |
blooms This is what jade plants do here on a regular basis. They bloom their little heads off and totally alter their appearance. It is simply stunning here now with jade plants blooming all over town. They do wonderfully outside all year long here, which is due to the temperate climate. Other places I have lived, they did fine indoors during the winter months and then loved being outside during the summers. Had to keep them in the shade if it got too hot. They also took a lot of watering then, as well.
I will do another writing in a few days. There is just so much going on and many things to bring everyone up to date on, that I could go on and on into the late night hours. Enough for now.
