On The Road in California, enroute to TURKEY!

 We are in Santa Ana, CA, visiting daughter Melinda, before we all take off to spend Thanksgiving in Turkey.

Cute, eh?  We'll be in Turkey.
No turkey in us!

 Her yard is a work in progress...and what progress since we were last here! 

Roses in bloom everywhere, intersting succulents, endless daisies! 
Love it!

 Look at these colors!

 Gorgeousness! 
 Is that a word? 
 Well, it fits.

 Too bad you can't smell this!

 And I love the tapestry that succulents make.

Such color and texture!

This is a new one we just added a few days ago.

Swoon!

If it wasn't for the freeway traffic,

 the crowds,

the prices,

the congestion,

 the earthquakes...

well...

let's just say it's near perfection.
