Ah, sometimes i feel my life is some sit com with the crazy things that happen. Noticed the challenge is Tim Burton movies- and i HAVE ENJOYED AQ GOOD MANY-- I like commedy and satire Have to go to Phoenix for a week to lectures and discussion groups-- usually this is held in Florida-- I hope to see Indian petroglyphs and maybe time for visiting Sedona (going on the weekend so I should have a little time for something) And so far, 10 little persimmons are staying on the tree, they tur n beautiful dark red in late October, and every hummingbird pierces them like a pinata as they are stuffed with sweet juice. It is so pretty to see. Well-- the adventure starts tomorrow, the parrot is staing at "the birdie hotel" while I'm away. Hope I can get some interesting pictures while I'm away. Take care, my friends.
