The view from my office is nice. It looks into our backyard. Today I took some photo's and will post some. It is relaxing and peaceful to look up from the computer and see the plants and flowers. This year for my tomato's I am trying something new. A "Topsy Turvy". The plants hang upside down. We should be able to cut our loss of tomato's due to snails, ground rot, etc. So far they are doing well. The plants N brought over will add much to our garden. Our patio has a lot of potted plants already, so we will need to plant several of those we received from N.
The weather has been good lately. Cloud cover in the morning then a ocean breeze from about 11 am on. Temperature in the high 70's. Mid 60's at night. Good sleeping. Jo's school year is winding down. It will be nice to have her around during the day. We don't do much but I like her company.
On my recent trip thru Las Vegas I was tempted to put money on the Cleveland Cav's to take the NBA title. But they are having a tough time with Orlando. Maybe I saved myself some money. When the Jazz were in the finals way back when, I put $100 on them to take the title. The Bull's proved to much for Malone and company. I am still a Jazz fan. Maybe they can make some trades this year and get back to the finals next year. Jo is flying high over the big soccer win by Barcelona. I am happy for her. Her Dad was a season ticket holder for that club for many years.
With summer vacation coming up you know gas prices are also going up. Gas is $2.60 a gallon here. Like MT always says "Californians don't know what to pay for things." The state raises the gas tax to keep us from driving, then complains they don't get enough revenue from gasoline taxes to build and repair roads. The federal government wants vehicles to get 35mpg. . Then they will want to raise the federal tax on gasoline so they will have money for the federal highways. What you gonna do?
Take care, be kind to your Senator and Congressman. They are feeding at the public trough, and goodness knows we (the people) don't want to upset them by being practical.

It's a good thing you didn't put money on Cleveland.
I like the upside down hanging tomatoes.
I really enjoy reading your posts and the photo is gorgeous. I had no idea you could have tomatoes hanging upside down but what a good idea.
We are having wonderful weather too temperatures around 75-80F, 25-30 C.
We are not spoilt with that.
