BLUE FLOWER TIME in Postcards 4

Jacaranda trees in bloom.

Many of our streets have Jacaranda’s on them, but only this one near us is lined with them. There’s a row of them lining Nimitz Blvd on its way into our neighborhood also, but there is nothing as dramatic as these.

The buildings are old HUD housing. My mother moved into one when her rent on the bay was raised. I often wonder what she would think of 3000 a month in that neighborhood, but that’s what they rent for now. They are gutting one row of these old apartments…not just upgrading them but gutting them down to the bare bones. I follow the changes with interest but know the rent will be sky high when they are done.

• Reading: The new Hillerman.
• 3 Things Done Well Yesterday:Puttered with the red in the living room, grocery shopped, did both classes and all my exercises and gained weight.
