Just got back from yoga. Eliza and I walked there and back tonight. I took an evening stroll last night at 8 pm. Very unusual for me to walk at this time, but the balmy twilight was irresistible. The rewards delectable: stillness, fragrance, and colors that glow best in dusk. At 220 Carmel (my favorite number 22 as always), just a block behind my house, an amazing succulent garden gushes forth. It's old, because the plants are, as Eliza would say, gi-normous. The round fat succulents (are those called hens and chicks?) were blooming with tall, Christmas-tree shaped yellow cones of blossoms. Unbelievable. At dusk, they glow like acid-trip Christmas aliens. It was well worth it! What an adventure, and so close to home. Three consultations today. It seems everyone is struck by the idea of cleaning out their storage bins. I'm the right person to talk about with that idea.
