Today I saw several acacia trees with bright yellow blossoms and several trees with pink cherry blossoms.  In my neighborhood.  Spring.

The sun didn't come out today so I went around with my jacket on.  It is hard to complain when most of the country is suffering with great cold.  Here in Monterey it i moderate temperature and when the sun comes out my house warms up.  Today my house did not warm up.

Saw lines of birds high in the sky this morning as I was driving through the Watsonville valley. Winter morning with hazy hills and these waves of birds flying by.  And then it was over and I was back on the road driving to Santa Cruz for lunch with a friend.

Finished a second mailing for the zen center.  Now I just have to go to the post office for the actual mailing.  Had a good day catching up on different activities.  And had a great nap.

The last of the visitors left this morning.  In the afternoon I had this overwhelming need to go to Macy's to buy more bed linens.  I walked through the sales tables.  Many people in the store with bags.  I ended up going home empty handed.  Really I didn't need anything.

cloudy overcast day.  Went to my mailbox and there was no mail.  Later I found that the ten year old boy had picked it up and placed on my table.  Wanted to do me a favor.  Thank you very much.

Went to Trader Joes this afternoon.  Time for more food for the house.  Why was I surprised at not being able to find a parking place.  Too many people shop there.  Eventually someone left and I could move into the spot.  UMMMMM
