And the "Lullaby of Leaves" in the cottonwood trees yesterday afternoon. One of the prettiest songs ever written, especially sung by Ella.
Unfortunately, my friend Karen and I crossed paths yesterday-- she was headed west to visit relatives in Seattle. She sometimes stays on her sister's houseboat which sounds (and is) pretty cool, but coming from her quiet life on the river, she said the big city hits you like ton of bricks, especially the constant movement and din of background noise on Lake Union. No kidding.
I had a big surprise yesterday afternoon. A gentleman knocked on the door and introduced himself as the previous owner of the house. We had only met once, very briefly. He and his wife moved to Nevada after we bought the house five years ago (yes, that long) but he was back in the Valley for a visit. and saw my car in the driveway.
We had such a nice chat and I learned more about the history of the property. He was happy and surprised to see the place he built so well-kept up and pretty. He said his wife had loved this house, and I told him I did too!
That's about it. The weekend is filled with swim activities, and the big championship meet goes all day tomorrow. I am hoping to see my busy granddaughters for a bit today.
