Spring is busting out all over!

Did you see Pasadena this morning? Here's a view from the Rose Parade.


I think a couple of the people in the back had their Speedos on.

It was 75 today. We have so many people from the snow out here to visit, and our New Year's Day is almost always gorgeous! Bob Eubanks, hosting the parade, said something like, now all of you in Chicago, don't pack your bags, yet, because we still get earthquakes.

I went outside and the hummingbirds were going crazy for our tree:


I love our backyard, but I have to tell you, I got parched just standing out there. I had to get a big glass of water just to rehydrate myself.

Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year to you! I have been in Pasadena last year but not for the Rose Parade. I hope to go there for that parade some time in the future.
