One Very Naked House

The house is very attractive, but the landscape is missing. Ten years ago the house had a normal landscape and it looked very nice. Then the widow started removing plants one by one until there was nothing but grass. I could not fathom why she removed all of the of the plants. Last week I got the answer. The elderly woman was a walker and passed our house most every day. I normally would say hello but one day I picked an avocado from our tree for her' and we started talking. She spoke about her allergies and how she had to remove the plants around her house. Now I know that she had a reason.

Old Oak Trees Are Messy

La Palma

This building is one of the three original Spanish style hotels from the 20's. For the last forty years it has been the home of haute cuisine. It has changed through the years but it remains a grand restaurant. Notice the courtyard on the left. When the weather is mild, it's the best place to enjoy your meal.
