I’m thankful for many things, but I’m very thankful for THIS DAY! Good lord, it was perhaps the most beautiful day ever here in Southern California! The weather was absolutely perfect. Just gorgeous. Sorry, folks out there in the polar vortex…! But I am very thankful to be here.

What a surprise! I went walking with my daughter tonight, and the #alleyfigtree was the bushiest I had seen it since I started monitoring it years ago! And, I couldn’t believe it… That little survivor was full of little baby figs! I couldn’t believe it. It’s an underdog success story!
