Happy New Year Everybody!!!

Its a new year...

Just to feed the stereotype, we are starting 2008 with another perfect, lovely day here in San Diego. The sun is shining, it is 67 degrees outside, and Mishka is navigating the canyon behind our house like a little mountain goat. Through the window behind our dessicated Christmas tree, we can watch the happy lizards doing their morning push-ups and little hummingbirds fussing over the bright red bougainvillea. Geoff manages to keep one eyeball trained on the window for any signs of wildlife and the other fixed on the football game on our new giant flat screen TV. The recent winter rains have revived our drooping plants and provoked all the thirsty seeds to germinate, making for an oddly verdant January landscape. It is beautiful and surprisingly not at all confusing. It may look like spring, but it still has all the coziness of winter.

We are overwintering.
