I've long known what a warm and welcoming home you have (complete with fabulous fur-kids!) but had never seen the magnificent grounds around your place! Very impressive. I love the idea of another Northern Cal meet-up being hosted there.

Once again you marry words and photos most beautifully.

Sorry I didn't post this note last night. I was trying to post and all of a sudden my internet connect went totally SLUGGISH and I couldn't take the a-g-o-n-i-z-i-n-g wait to post or view anything!

(P.S. I particularly love the statue of the North Wind in your building's foyer -- pity that lovely, dramatic thing photographs so dark! It's intricate details fascinate me and I linger there looking at it almost every visit. Are there statues of other winds in the other buildings?)
