Thoughts

It's been a roiling week--in so many ways.

Super Tuesday's amazing results for Joe Biden
 and the endorsements he got.
The call for unity and sanity among the Democrats of the country.

Amazing Elizabeth Warren's leaving the race.
What has happened to a woman presidency?  Will it ever be?

The encroaching panic over Corona-virus.

The unbelievable incompetency of Trump and his administration.

I don't know what to think of or how to deal with it all.







Plus Lea and I are madly preparing for our painting and furniture Pop-Up in West Hollywood due to open on March 15th and continue daily until March 26.

Come to our Pop-Up!
470 N. Doheny Drive at Rangely, LA 90048
March 15 – 26, 2020  daily 12–7pm

Open House with Vinovore pouring:
Sunday, March 15, 4-7 pm
Saturday, March 21, 4-7 pm

But will the virus interfere?
Will anyone come?

And there's climate change!!

Meanwhile, reassuringly, sweet spring is arriving, on schedule, with it's imperturbable march forward.

 

The Jasmine is blooming,

 
 a pair of finches are nesting on my front porch,


 

and the first Nasturtium blossom has just appeared!

Harris Visit
 
Bob and Steffi stopped by last Wednesday for a two night stay with me on their way to see Alex and his family in Hawaii.
 
 
Besides lots of talk about politics (good talk!), we squeezed in a visit to the Huntington Gallery, ate lunch at the Chinese Pagoda,
 
 
and met this guide at the Japanese Gardens with his friend, the scrub jay,
 
 
 
 who comes on his call and enjoys a peanut for it's vigilance. 

Later we picked up Maddie and Max at their schools who had a lively conversation on the way home about which instrument was harder, the piano (Maddie) or the flute (Max).  
The flute won.
