I saw a KT'er Yesterday~~

10 years ago

I saw Laurie_2008 in Mission Viejo~Southern California, my DD#2 swims on a Masters swim team and so does her son. There was a big Nationals meet going on there, it started last Weds~today. I knew Laurie would be there~~we met at Jodi's get together. We were both there Friday, but I did not see her until Saturday;)

It was a fun surprise~~~

So happy to hear of another KT surprise meetup! So who recognized whom first? YogaLady, you need to come over again and the three of us can do coffee/tea/lemonade/water/whatever, around the kitchen table. My kitchen table. :-) Laurie, are you in?

I saw this dahlia at the State Fair yesterday...

This is more dark purple/magenta and a collarette with otherwise single petals. Short plant of 2 feet or less, lots of 2-3 blooms and lots of tubers. It is called "Impression Fantastico" from Lowe's a couple years back. There are other 'Impression' dahlias I saw just a bit ago surfing the dahlia world online. I'd be happy to save one for you if you care to try it. You could Google "Impression dahlias" or some such to turn up a link to the others. I sent Willow a tuber of Red Peony- not a real name, but a dark red single of about 3-4 inches across on a tall plant. If she has a photo maybe she can share it, but she's due to go on vacation soon, if I recall.

For snappers, the Oklahoma Dept. of Wildlife site says: 20 to 40 eggs are typically deposited...the eggs hatch after an incubation period of roughly 100 days (though it can range from 55-125 days depending on temperature and humidity). It didn't look like what we call a "box turtle," so I'm thinking it may have been a snapper. I wanted to go back out and take a picture of her, but I was afraid of spooking her! I pass the nest on the way to the mailbox, so I'll be able to monitor it all summer. :-) I'm so glad you all share my jubilation at such small wonders. It just makes me feel all warm and fuzzy to witness this stuff! And it sounds like you've all seen your share of "nature in progress." (Cool pics, Brenda!) A few years ago, we caught this...we call them a "locust" around here, but I think they are called something else other places.

Santa Cruz County, CA. - KT'ers

It's very close -- maybe 7-8 miles as the crow flies, but the trajectory is south, not east/northeast towards me -- a couple of ridges and a creek and a river and a couple of "major" local two-lane highway (Hwy 9, 236) also break the path. Basically, if the fire gets to Boulder Creek and me, half the town will be gone. I can't see that happening, at least not tonight or tomorrow. A remote smaller fire last year just over the ridge, which did not get widely reported, had me more in a tizzy about evacuating...I had the cat carriers out, fire safe in the car, important files in the car, and a gym bag with a couple changes of clothes, as well as a few things for the cats (litter, food, etc.), and a few things for me as well. Not that it would make much difference because my house is at the peak of a canyon/creek "chimney", I did have quite a bit of fire break/ tree clearing done once I kicked the soon-to-be-ex-not-so-DH outta here. He would never do it since he prunes trees for a living and didn't want to "sacrifice" trees at home as well. 'Nuff said... Here's a current fire map, with a little yellow dot at the top right/center showing approximately where I am.

I saw her first, I knew she would be there and had been on the watch for her, but there were a lot of people there. I saw her, just before we left;(

I can cruise over one day, if I am not decluttering;)

Okay, just let me know what works best for you and I'll talk to Laurie about her availability.

How much clutter could you possibly have in a Feng Shui house? :-)

What a crowded meet! We were packed in there with swimmers, spectators, meet officials and vendors.
I'm wearing my wide brimmed sun hat & sunglasses. Out of this sea of people, I hear "Laurie!" and I see it's Yoga Lady!
How you ever spotted me was amazing. One clue that may have assisted you... I was wearing my bright orange print blouse...same one I wore to Jodi's get together. It was fun seeing another Kt'er : )

Yes, Jodi...I'm in!

Okay, ball is in your court YL.

Laurie, when you come over, no need to wear the orange print blouse again, well recognize you. Of course knowing you for 32 years might help too. :-)
