And how all of us love landscapes exploding into vibrant yellows, orange and reds as we stand guard for Halloween and Thanksgiving...and who doesn’t mind the extra hour in bed :-) A coincidence?

Just noticed this morning that our fig tree is bursting with new life ... It's never heard of a stock market and is not worried for a thing! A few weeks from now it will be covered in large green leaves with tiny buds forming, and any potential economic recession will be the furthest thing from its juicy figs.... Yes, this is right on cue, regardless of the panic all around. The sun still shines, the blossoms and buds are out, and the birds are singing. And to think that without this week of Working From Home I wouldn't have...
