We are finally getting rain. Finally! It is like manna from heaven here. Metrologist said we need 18 years of rain to make up for our devastating droughts.

My neighbor cut back his plumeria and put the cuttings on the median near the street. I decided not to be greedy and only took one, which I stuck in this pot filled with stock:

My eucalyptus is blooming:

He can't stop looking out the window for Santa's sleigh:

First of all - how DO you keep that dog so clean? I guess you don’t live on a farm, Eh? LOL!

Secondly, GORGEOUS, as always. Stock is probably my favorite scent for flowers! When I was buying for Jung’s, I always had them on hand with the other annuals. I got SO many ‘Thumbs Ups’ from customers who remembered their Grandmas having Stock. Me, too! Have always loved it.

Your house is like a visit to the Tropics and it’s only California! I lived in Imperial Beach for 2 years in the early 80’s. Loved the weather, but missed my Four Seasons. It rained exactly ONCE in 2 years - which was very weird for this Midwestern Girl! And you people wear COATS? Come on! It’s 60 degrees out! That’s still shorts and flip-flops weather up here, LOL!

Merry Christmas!
