...I had to stop and admire the flowers.
I buy bars and bars of
Theo chocolate to share with students at the Bead & Button Show. It's a tradition, started way back when I needed to appease the Shipping Gods (but that is another story!) and now some students are even placing their requests - Chai Tea, Bread and Chocolate, Fig Fennel, Cherry Almond... all Fair Trade, Organic, feel good chocolate!

Theo (that is short for
Theobroma Cacao meaning
Food of the Gods) Chocolate factory is in funky, artsy downtown Freemont - a hop skip and a jump from my dear friend
Joie. So I parked at her house and she spontaneously joined me for a stroll down the hill. Yes, we had our cameras and found some fabulous flowers along the way.



Did I focus on Orange again? Silly me! Here is some purple to counteract - a clematis that opened up yesterday in my garden.
