Our front-yard camellias start blooming in January…and they're still going strong. Always a lovely sight as I head out or back from the driveway.
Once in a while we get a near-perfect bloom.

Although many things are dormant this time of year, our front-yard Camellias think that January is the perfect time to show their stuff.
I always think to myself… 'Where flowers are blooming, spring can't be that far away…'
. It's been a while since I've posted anything here. Chronic headache has kept me completely worn out. Latest diagnosis is that I'm leaking….leaking cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Not confirmed yet, but on Jan 18 they did a lumbar puncture with CT scan to see if they could find a leak. As of yet, no results from my doctors.

We've had more rain than the past several years put together

so this past week was a nice respite before the dripping began again today.
The wild mustard has held on for quite a while this year (it starts blooming in January). California Poppies coming up next…

Hospital View

My mother in law is in the hospital…
This is the view out her window.
I suppose that there are worse places to spend your time getting well…
Yet one more reason I love the Napa Valley

From last spring

The Barrel Room
Although there are many rooms and hallways filled with barrels, this is the barrel room deep underground beneath the breathtaking Castello di Amorosa castle near Calistoga, CA. Just one of the many wonders to explore in this truly magical place. If you're ever in the Napa Valley, you must stop by for a visit!

Napa Valley Winter

One thing I love about January in the Napa Valley is the Wild Mustard that blooms everywhere. It almost makes me think spring is here…
