Today, like every other day, is a calm, cloudless, sunny hot day. I’m celebrating from my internet computer (11 minutes to go/15) by proclaiming this might be one of my last library internet visits before we officially get the net at home on Tuesday! Huzzah for the photos- and more frequent blogs-to-come.

The other day, as I was walking home from the library, the most amazing, most “California” thing happened to me: I found a JUMBO avocado just lying in the grass on the side of the sidewalk. I looked up – and sure enough – a tree. This thing weighed about 3 pounds and was just shy of a football in size. I had a lot of errands to run that day and was kind of wishing I’d found it later because I ended up carrying the dang thing with me to the bank, power station to pay a bill, Ikea to check out lawn chairs (Memorial Day sales are HOT, people), and then all the way back home. I speak of it in the past-tense because yesterday, after sitting on the counter for a couple of days, was Guacamole Day. SO DELICIOUS!
