[life-around-me-yura15cbx]

Acacia baileyana or Cootamundra wattle is a shrub or tree in the flowering plant family Fabaceae.

The scientific name of the species honours the botanist Frederick Manson Bailey. It is indigenous to a very small area in southern inland New South Wales, comprising Temora, Cootamundra, Stockinbingal and Bethungra districts. However, it has been widely planted in other Australian states and territories.

The colour Cootamundra wattle is used currently by the Australian Capital Territory Fire Brigade as their colour scheme for firefighting appliances.

Why do I dream of these boys holding me?

In the dream, it was night time and I was hanging out with a boy. I wanted him, I wanted him to hold me and do everything to me that I wanted in the backseat of his car.  I sat there alone in the backseat while he was in the back. It felt like an old, vintage car. It didn’t feel like a working car, more like a showcase car. We got out for some reason and he threw his car keys and got them lost in the lawn in some particularly dark spot under some trees and he was was afraid of going in there and having a good look. It’s like this spot was ‘dark’ in its energy. I stood and watched him struggling for a bit. I was thinking about how we could drive back and park on my street and do the deed. 

I saw a tree and identified it as Acacia baileyana

Monarch Beach and Paso Robles Wineries

In this episode: FAQ is: Need services for handicapped? Where can you go for information?

  Today’s Destination is: Monarch Dunes and Paso Robles Wineries, CA

Today’s Mistake- Trusting the first person you ask for directions

Travel Advice:  Visit your local zoo or park and get some outdoor fun. 

FAQ: Need services for handicapped? Where can you go for information?

  Answer: We talk about ability-travel here often, so listen if you want to know more.

I have a friend named Kathryn who is traveling the world now, when she can, and doesn’t let her handicaps keep her from going. She works full time as a teacher, and travels weekends and holidays. She went on a summer trip to Australia and New Zealand and we spoke while she was there.

  She says there are plenty of services available to those with a lack of ability, and to seek help when you need it. The best advice is to try to stick to a morning routine, as much as possible. 

  Here’s a few companies that specialize in travel for those situations. 

  Arrange Accessible accommodations by contacting your hotel and requesting a special room.

Arrange assistance while flying and try to get special accommodations.

  Make sure travel insurance includes medical, because medical is not covered by most plans when you are out of the country.

Today’s destination: Monarch Dunes and Paso Robles Wineries, CA

  Monarch is a butterfly that was well-known in this farming area of Nipomo, CA. and inspired a development of 1200 homes surrounded by beautiful beaches and farming agriculture. 

  Many people travel to Nipomo for the golf experience. There’s a community of homes, built by Shea Homes that could double for a land-based cruise ship, except it’s not. It’s a community that pops out of nowhere of single family homes. The activities are resort-like and the atmosphere is healthy-looking adults in their 60’s and 70’s. These baby boomers are living large and have their desserts. Many drive Tesla’s. Many have 3 car garages. Some are on the golf course and others on the vineyard, facing the ocean. The breeze is nice here, but the blowing sand gets old fast. There is a ton of sand to sweep. The clubhouse has a pool and spa, plus there’s a shed for throwing pottery and Bocce Ball courts by the pickleball courts. It’s open to the public.

  You’ll also find some great wine tasting in Paso Robles. less than an hour from Nipomo. The region got its reputation of being a wine destination in the 1960’s, starting with the soil scientist from San Luis Obisbo, and Jack Niven was the soil and fruit expert known in this region.

  https://www.goldmedalwineclub.com/winery/niven-family-wine-estates-san-luis-obispo-county

  In Paso Robles it is known by winemakers that the same fruit can taste different even when grown as little as 2 miles away. Patience is key in wine growing here as well as in other wine regions. 

  I visited this July 4 weekend 2022 and stayed in the resort-like area with friends. They played pickleball. And I went to the swimming pool and spa. We planned wine tasting and other cultural adventures. One of those was at the Baileyana winery, on a warm July afternoon, looking over the vineyards from a tent outside in the parking area, surrounded by grassy areas and a building that held the wines. We had a couple of hours tasting and eating our picnic lunch. We arranged this ahead of time and it was easy to find the location and parking.

Our wine expert was Martha, who attended UCSB and has been here for nearly ten years. Baileyana is owned by the Wine Exchange now, who also own Bread Butter in Napa and Chronic in Paso Robles.

  Do visit a winery and tour a vineyard. Bring a picnic lunch and buy a bottle at the winery.

Don’t forget to make a reservation. Golfing, wine tasting or a meal. You may need to reserve in advance, so plan ahead if you can.

Today’s Mistake- Trusting the first person you ask for directions

  I get lost a lot. I ask for directions most of the time. This week, I got lost in a casino. I was unable to find where I was going. I found an employee and asked for help. They sent me in the wrong direction, so I got lost again. The next person gave the right directions, and I found my way to my destination. Don’t always trust the directions until you find it’s correct.

  Today’s Travel Advice-Visit your local zoo or park and get some outdoors fun. 

  Get outdoors. Leave the devices behind and spend time with the animals, tree life and make a friend. What is your favorite Zoo? My favorite is the World Famous San Diego Zoo. They are now part of the Wildlife Alliance.

Five Pinot Noir Wines to Drink this Week

Five Pinot Noir Wines to Drink this Week

As temperatures rise, light to medium-bodied wines are on the list for easy enjoyment on their own or paired with lighter fare like grilled salmon or chicken, light pasta or rice dishes, or big summer salads. Here are five perfect Pinots for each day of this week. Pinot Noir is a very finicky, difficult-to-grow, the variety that can often produce wines tasting more like a grape jolly rancher than…

ミモザの花

2022.3.23

花の文化園のレストラン前にはミモザの花がワッサァと咲いています。

今までミモザって馴染みがなかったんですが、あらためて見てみるとかわいい感じですね。

なので、ちょっと調べてみてビックリ。

ミモザの花粉にはアレルギー症状を引き起こす可能性があり、シンボルツリーにするときは注意が必要らしいのです。

花粉症の私にとって、カワイイと言って撮ってる場合ではなかったということを思ってしまいました。

まぁ、花を撮ってる時点で花粉症対策はしっかりとしていってるんですけどね。

Portfolio: Gardening in Wind

This is my sisters garden on ‘Windy Hill’ as we like to call it, it gets so windy here the rubbish bins get blown down the street, gates are blown off their hinges and plants find it tough! Her front garden bears the brunt of the Westerlies and southerlies and used to be bare lawn with only a lonely Frangipani in the front.

Not only does this front garden cop the wind it also fries in the Summer sun, so I have included several small trees which are quickly growing up to provide the house and garden with some respite.

In the image above you can see the Eucalyptus ‘Euky Dwarf’ provided lovely dappled shade and beginning to screen the house across the road, on the right is Acacia cardiophylla in full bud.

Another great small tree for full sun and windy conditions is Eucalyptus pulveralenta ‘Baby Blue’ this has shot up so fast! Behind it you can see privacy screening of Banksia ‘Sentinel’ and Calothamnus quadrifidus Grey.

The héros of this garden are the Casuarina ‘Green Wave’, they are positioned throughout to screen the street and buffer the wind and they get regular clipping to keep them nice and compact.

The spillover planting is thriving and attempting to take over the nature strip and seems undaunted by the exposed position. In the foreground above you can see Grevillea banks Prostrate White.

Grevillea ‘Red Hooks’ grew really quickly and has been sheltering the other screening plants nicely, it does loose the odd branch in the wind but has generally been a trooper. Below it you can see Banksia ‘Roller Coaster’ flowering freely.

On the other side of the Grevillea ‘Red Hooks’ is Acacia binervia ‘Stirling Silver’ this is a very hardy small to medium shrub which needs to be kept in check with regular pruning.

And last but not least is some good old Westringia ‘Smokey’, I love combining this with the Casuarina ‘Green Wave’ for a relaxed coastal look. Other natives in the garden which are very wind tolerant but not shown in the images above are: Melaleuca viridiflora ‘Burgundy Weeper’, Carpobrotus ‘White Hot’ Ficinia nodosa, Themeda ‘True Blue’, Poa ‘Kingsdale’, Anigoxanthos ‘Landscape Yellow’, Xerochrysum ‘Dargon Hill Monarch’, Callistemon ‘In June’ and Baeckea linifolia. Hope this garden provides you with some more ideas for Wind tolerant planting 😊
