RE: Weather

If CA keeps paving over everything you might as well change the name,
you'll probably have more of them than we do.
There are still some wildflowers here, most very small species I can't
remember the names of...you have to be walking peering at the ground to
see them. We did a rather hair-raising trail ride last weekend and
during the times I actually had my eyes open I saw a lot of Mariposa
lilies - very pretty - amongst a few other things. I tried picking some
pods off the bush poppy, but alas, I forgot and left them in my pocket
when I washed my jeans.

Hi Cyndi. The California poppies are really beginning to bloom here
now. Most of the rural roads are bordered by them. And there was a
funny article in the Oregonian the other day about some guy who wants
to change their common name to Oregon Poppy.
