I loved, loved, loved your reflections on "Remember Me" and look forward to reading the book. Fun talking this morning, Martie. It's so inspiring hearing/reading your connection to the natural world. May you stay safe during this fire season. My insurance agent was here taking pictures of my yard/forest yesterday--not a good sign I'd say.echimenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02110909409104690998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7129787696807656257.post-12276401426678161042011-04-21T11:56:29.542-06:002011-04-21T11:56:29.542-06:00Oh lordy, lordy, they made it all the way to colle...Oh lordy, lordy, they made it all the way to college and couldn't figure that one out! Those are a danger anytime. We heard a story a few years ago about a friend of a friend who had grilled out on their deck, and not realizing it, an ember had gone done into the deck. They lost their home over that one small goof.Taos Sunflowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14858962854162972354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7129787696807656257.post-54583703321083071492011-04-20T19:56:09.578-06:002011-04-20T19:56:09.578-06:00Yes, a new sign of life from the yellow flower.

I hear they're really good for you. Perhaps I'd better make friends with them in case the going gets rough.Taos Sunflowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14858962854162972354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7129787696807656257.post-67509452121002011412011-04-19T17:54:04.998-06:002011-04-19T17:54:04.998-06:00Courtney:

I always lived in the city though, and never had to be concerned for our safety. Boy, did I learn a lot in a hurry when I moved to NM! (PS The thing with weeds is, they're green! If you just mow them in, you'll never know they're they. Embrace them!)

The past few years we have been in somewhat of a drought here where the farmer's were losing crops etc. Nothing like where you are though. <br />I am craving anything green right now too and those dandelions sure look healthy! Have you ever eaten the greens?<br />Stay safe!<br />Cathy GCathy G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14409521338403315750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7129787696807656257.post-41700369473251244742011-04-19T15:50:07.593-06:002011-04-19T15:50:07.593-06:00We don't have drought here in NE, but I used t...We don't have drought here in NE, but I used to live in Southern CA. I remember the dry times. I love your memories of your dad and his sanctuary. I'm hopeless at a truly green lawn. I always manage to have weeds.
