Olives ripening

If it were not for my walks with Lolo, some days I just don't have photos. I found a ripe olive on the ground and then looked up to snap a cluster. These trees cause really bad allergies for a lot of people. Glad I am not one.

I did a lot of much needed cleaning in my rock garden and deck area today and we just had a very strong wind. There are huge pine trees near me and they are very dry from lack of moisture. The needles are absolutely everywhere.... I have friends coming to be out there this Saturday and I was trying to improve it. Good thing it's only Wednesday since it's sure to be a total mess again. Avelino gets it even worse than I do!
