I’m working on my book almost every minute in the day… no time for gardening despite glorious spring days. VERY hard!! But I did manage to plant a pot of tulips and they’re starting to come up!! That’s because I stared at the dirt for a couple of minutes a day to let them know I was waiting. 🌷 🌷🌷🌷

Transferred b’days to new calendar, took down Xmas tree, played w/new faux fireplace mantle, walked outside in the GREEN, and today? I’m being interviewed by Santa Barbara Blue Dot Living Magazine! Best part, it’s interviewer’s FIRST interview, he is 15, and his mom is driving him up here! Cutest!🌟

Those observing Christmas are celebrating a family of asylum seekers. If there is indeed a "War on Christmas," it's being waged by those trying to make our country less safe for the poor, for the marginalized, and for refugees.

While everyone else is playing in the snow, living in a Christmas card, here on Central Coast of California we’re walking the beach and going to farmers market! Still merry and bright! Bloom where you’re planted!! (Beauty contest, gorgeous Protea flowers!!! and BLUE eyes!💖)

Okay, my new “fireplace” is in. Doesn’t even need actual fire 🔥 to warm up the room. It’s permanent now, on a large mirrored wall on the other side of our dining table!!! I am in mad wob! With it, and with guy who made it! I laugh every time I look over there!! Transformed!🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄

We don’t really NEED a fireplace, not here in our part of CA, but EVERYONE needs a mantle!💖 So Joe is building me one. 💫Making me a little Christmas nook. And for year-round decor in the dining room! I’ll send more pics soon!
