Well, apparently the World Wide Web isn't as worldly or as wide.

 I had the best of intentions when I left Maryland for vacation in California and a chance to see Joe and his wife, Brooke.

I was going to blog about all the flora and fauna out here and post lots of pictures.

But there was no Internet access in the foothills where our resort was located (Lawrence Welk Resort. Mandatory ballroom dancing after dinner.)

I found a bit of the Internet in my son's apartment in Carlsbad. Just enough to let you know I haven't abandoned you, or Garden Variety.

 I have about a million pictures of the flowers from here and tons to tell you. And I will start Monday when I return.

I hope it won't be as bad as sitting through somebody's vacation slide show!!

Talk to you Monday!
