Continued on to Pasadena and had a fun visit with old friends. Had to pass up the Huntington Gardens and the all the LA nurseries for lack of time, but I had the pleasure of visiting some hidden private gardens, then headed on down to my sister's in Fallbrook.

Since I had visited her last, she has finished installing her pool, and cactus and succulent and rock gardens around her new home. She didn't purchase any of the plants or rocks, but traded for them, or scavenged them from the discards of the growers and ranchers around Fallbrook. Quite inventive (and all legal, I might add!).
