Under the Solano Sun

As I've noted before in this blog, I haven't been entirely convinced about the appeal of succulents. Maybe, however, it was a matter of finding the right one! I absolutely adore the charming Blue Waves' echeveria.

Hitched a ride with a friend last week to a plant sale at the UC Davis Arboretum Teaching Nursery. I trust the plants they sell will be true to form and live up to the size, use, water, care, and feeding regime stated on the plant labels.

This is a book about Community. This is a book about relationships. This is a book about the poetry of trees. This is a book about the hidden connections of all of us on our planet. And, this is a love song to the natural world and how and we all belong to it.

Over the years we have had a changing relationship with the neighborhood squirrels. Early on there were not many interactions. The housing development was new and there were not any mature trees nearby.

At last Saturday's plant sale at the UC Davis Arboretum, I bought a Tagetes lucida.
