Leofwyna recently asked where I'd like to travel if the opportunity would arise.  Aside from a wish to spend a summer touring Denmark, I'd like to do the drive north along the Pacific Coast from California to Oregon and Washington.  We also really should get out there someday to visit Aunt Jeanne.  It sounds like Leofwyna is really considering trying to accomplish such a trip next summer; she says Yosemite tops her list.

I've been assiduously harvesting ground cherries and freezing the ripest ones for baking once we have the kitchen put back together.  The cool nights are clearly having an effect on those plants.  I've been doing some research and have ideas for having many more plants in a bed propped up by tomatoe cages over the ground cover to make harvesting easier next year.  Now it's time to cut the broccoli plants out and take them to the zoo so I can get the beds ready for winter and next spring.  I also need to start putting up the improved hoophouse for the winter garden.

I got stopped by the police Tuesday night; one of my headlights is out and he just gave me a warning.  I'd planned to get an oil change and replace a windsheild wiper soon so this just moves the date up getting the car in to deal with it.  A certified letter also reminds me my insurance is due.  I'm just waiting for a transfer to come in from T-C so I can drive a check over to them this week.

Sounds like a grand trip idea. My husband once wanted to travel the coast from near Mexico up the 1 or 101 to the northern border, or maybe farther, and take a few weeks to do so or maybe take the coastal train.

If you do go to Yosemite, plan to go sooner in the summer rather than later. Especially if our winter is dry again. My family usually goes late spring, in May, and usually the waterfalls are nice and full. If we have a wet winter with lots of snow, then very full and sometimes flooding. But this year was dryer. We visited Yosemite twice this year, once later in the summer and most of the waterfalls were dry. What few that had water, only had a trickle by then, and it was sadly disappointing, especially for out of the area visitors. So go early for best waterfall display. If you plan to camp in Yosemite or nearby, you need to reserve space about a year in advance.

Thanks, we've taken note of that. We're thinking probably late May-early June.
