January 16 - Clearing


Mercifully,


the rain abates, and


it looks like blue skies ahead,


as the wave upon wave of storms


is perhaps finally over


(although there is possibly


one more inclement day,


before a series of sunshiny ones


kicks in).


So,


out


for


errands


on this


15th day of


Springtime weather --


high


up


3


to


56.


There's


even


motivation


to return to the Vacaville Streets Walks series,


but now focussing on the perimeter, parking at Red Mulberry near White Pine, and


walking


on the latter to


Leisure,


north


on


this


to


Maple,

then


south


again,


always within sight of


Mt. Diablo and the Lagoon / Vaca Mountains,


returning to the car,


with


further


explorations


on


Maple and


Poplar,


returning


via


Orange


southwest


to continue musical endeavors, which include


designing a title page and posting
