Blogging around

Although I invested an entire day (literally 10 hours!) setting up this blog a week ago (it might have been a record for blogger.com), it is extremely gratifying to see one's creation up on my computer screen. Being inspired by my success last weekend, I also made up a sister blog called 'manyenglishes' which I hope will become a place for students and teachers of English - and any other folk who struggle to master this language - to place comments, vent and/or praise.

This 'mbotefromsandiego', on the other hand, is for the rest. Greetings from San Diego! and reflections on the day here. I heard this morning, for example, that the traffic was already very heavy near Del Mar and expected to be at a peak in that area this weekend. Same old, same old.... Avoid going north on Highway 5 tomorrow.

Meanwhile, the weather continues to be perfect, and now, thanks to Thomas's assistance, I can enjoy viewing our garden from above deck as well as below. Went through many bags of stuff from Mom's house and realized how different it is to handle her possessions four years after her death. I could easily give away her hummingbird feeders as our yard is filled with these tiny creatures already. No need to hang a feeder out there when they've got so many flowers to choose from. For me, hanging out with the hummingbirds makes me feel like Mom is right there watching over things. It's a holy feeling at times....
