It’s always something.

That itch.  it creeps up on me.

I took off to back East.  I spent a week in Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, Manhattan and Boston.  It was glorious.  I played a LOT.  I had so much fun.  It means a great deal to me to be able to travel and have a heavy work load that makes the tour worth while.  AND I really love letting Robin Pachino be the slut she is.

I even took a day off, Halloween, and went to Salem.  I’d never been.  It was so cool, all the costumes, all the happiness.

Back in Los Angeles, November 7th, I was extremely grateful to my neighbors, whom watered my flowers and strawberry/herb garden.  YAY!  I made them Tomato Sauce as a thank you.

Yes, I have this nifty cool little herb garden with sages, oregano, thyme, rosemary, mint, basil, chamomile, fennel, dill, parsley, chives and red leaf lettuce.  And a hillside of strawberry plants.   It was a deserted patch of land the gardeners blew leaves and top soil off and down to the street, the rain in the winter makes it into a big mud slide, just ick.  So, I turned the soil, turned good soil into it and planted.  It makes me happy.  It is life, growing and smells nice.  The birds in my area evidently do not have any idea about urban gardens because they don’t notice it at all.

I got a rescue dog last week.  I went around to five shelters.  I sat with different dogs, asked the front staff about different dogs.  So much sadness there.  People get dogs and don’t train them, then they aren’t puppies anymore and they tear up everything and aren’t house trained.  Some dogs are escape artists.  There is a beautiful husky in the West side Shelter who is well behaved.  people adopt him and he just runs away.  They can’t contain him, it’s a hassle and he ends up back at the shelter.  So, my dog…..

She was labeled German Shepard.  She isn’t.  She is a Rottweiler and Pit Bull mix.  To say that would have been death.  She is the sweetest dog.  The NoKillLosAngeles Shelter got her from the South Los Angeles Shelter.  A family turned her in.  They say she is 5 but I wonder if she is older.  She has a lot of gray around her nose.  It’s okay to be older.  Did you know nose prints are like fingerprints?  She is house trained, doesn’t get on furniture and quiet.  We are learning to walk and not pull.

I have had a good rest, and today, I really have that itch.  I want to work.  Where are the gents?
