Road Ready!

Packed for the road....that's what we did today.  Our friendly Volvo is packed to the gills with stuff!  We can't figure out exactly why we kept so many items here in California, rather than sending them on with the enormous moving van.  What were we thinking??  Or were we?  But here we are - with the darnedest things, shoved into every nook & cranny of the wagon.  Yay, for wagons!  The Commander saved just enough space to ease in the lemon tree, the herb pot, and our two bonsai the morning we head out.  The enourmous Cereus will just have to stay in California for awhile, I'm afraid.  No room!  I may bring one slip along, and plant it when we get to Little Bird Farm.  Seems the thing to do.  

We have one more important thing to do here before we leave.  Sunday night, we will be sitting in the lawn at the Greek Theater in Berkeley, watching and listening to Sweet Baby James - James Taylor.  Nice way to bid Oakland farewell, for now.  His music has accompanied many of our sweetest life events; it is fitting that he sing us out of town tomorrow.  

One more thing: just a quick photo of the very BIG day that we closed on our California house, and knew we could actually move forward and onward, to Little Bird Farm.  Cheers!
