On my first day here I found the famous Parrots of Telegraph Hill. I was so excited but since I have discovered that they're easy to find. If you hear some crazy raucousness, just look up!
PS In case you can't tell, this is a photo of a parrot!

My friend, Kim sent me this. Her husband, Adam is going on a trip to India. This is his out of office reply: If you have a burning issue, download and listen
Yesterday I was dancing with my favorite weeds, the wild sunflowers that grow everywhere here. My sweet and efficient husband had been gardening a few weeks ahead of me and had pulled most weeds of all kinds. So I crawled around looking for the sunflower babies behind bushes, in cracks by the facet, in the driveway. I rescued and replanted about 30 of them. They look very happy in their new spots, didn't wilt a bit even though I yanked them instead of dug them.
