Today we had 3 jobs...one of which was in Del Mar, Ca.....its a beautiful beach town, famous for horse racing and the county fair.....we re keyed a condo that had been foreclosed...rather sad but it was in a lovely complex with very tropical plants....thought you might enjoy these few photos...this is a hibiscus...that was growing by the front door. There were many Camilla plants also...some were just in bud but I did find this one with loads of blooms....
on the way out, I spied this honeysuckle......the fragrance was wonderful....
Del Mar has a web cam where you can see live the beach area....here is the link
Del Mar Beach Live...we came home rather tired as it was a long ride...a beautiful day with clear blue skies and warm temperatures.
.Gas prices have sure gone up quickly...yesterday we passed a favorite gas station and for reg. unleaded it was $4.11 and today when we went by it was $4.17...the place was very busy as it was the cheapest in town with most stations charging $4.25 or more....when will it end?

I love honeysuckle! Sounds like you had a very nice day.
ReplyDeleteGas will probably be $4.00/gal in a few days here. Maybe sooner. What will Memorial Day bring?
Take care.
Lovely flowers.
ReplyDeleteGas is very expensive in India to
Beautiful hibiscus, Dani~ and I'm sure the honeysuckle smells wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid there's no end in sight to the gas prices... *sigh*
Thanks for sharing the lovely flowers you saw, can you take any cuttings if it is foreclosed?
ReplyDeleteOf course, this is the collector in me talking!
Your grand baby is growing so fast.
Gas in Ga is $3.69 and in NC is higher by about 10 cents so we go to Georgia for gas as we live right on the state lines.
It has really curtailed us just going out for driving trips just to look around the area we moved to. I love to wander when we go out but we are home much more than I ever thought and I do Love it!
Our weather has been in the 60's this week and it is hard to think that winter could be right back again anytime.
I do spend so much time outside just wandering the woods in the Nantahala Forest, there is always so much to see. But, I would love to see the ocean and get my toes in the sand.
Good to see what you are up too Dani.
Smiles, Cyndi
