We went to San Jose to return books to the library, and for the housemate to pick up a bagful of reserved books. As we were leaving, she pointed to the window of the children's section; a little boy and girl were sitting there playing with a pocket-sized tabby kitten.
It may be time to put away my long-sleeved tops for the season, and even black and navy T-shirts. And change to summer sheets.
The monstera plant died back no matter what I did, so I finally parked it at the base of the fence where it would get sun much of the day but a bit diffused by the orange tree. It continued to die back, but 2 of the leaves, though they looked awful, never completely lost their green, so I carried on watering it with the potted geranium next to it. Today I noticed it's unfurling a new leaf.
