Looks like spring, but it's October in San Francisco

Thanks, Harry F. D'Elia 

Hi Patricia Kennedy - yes, that arbor of roses and vines leads to the front entryway - very appealing in my book.

Thanks, Paul S. Henderson, REALTOR®, Broker, Tacoma Washington - this is a fine week and we loved our rain over the weekend. Wishing you a good week, too.

Good morning, Anna Banana Kruchten - there are lots of great people here in San Francisco--glad you met one of them and can help get the perfect house for his mom.

Hi Gita Bantwal - it is a pretty doorway!

Good morning Yolanda Cordova-Gilbert - I'm glad you enjoyed the picture. I've often thought of taking just door shots, or window shots, or gates, on some of my walks. I might just do that one of these days.

Donna Foerster - our rain has ended, with clear, warm sunny days forecast for this week. Maybe--just maybe--the storm door has been opened for all of us; let's hope!

Hi Tammy Lankford, our much needed rain has ended, and we're back to warm summery days this week. Maybe the changeability in the weather is one of the things I like about autumn.

It's hard not to like roses, Nina Hollander 

I thought the same about the roses, Debbie Reynolds -- I had to take an up-close look to be sure they were real.

Even though flowers bloom here year-round, those roses stunned me, Sheila Anderson 

We celebrated the rain on Sunday by walking about 3 hours - across Pac Heights, Presidio Heights, the Presidio to Immigrant Point -- then down to Fillmore for lunch! We were drenched but happy - and these roses made the day even more enjoyable!

Hello Jeff Dowler - glad you enjoyed the rose arch. Wish I could send rain, but I'm looking at crystal clear skies and bright sunshine - nary a cloud in sight.

This weekend, perhaps!
