I rode my bike to the E Nicolaus post office. This yard along the way was in full bloom and gorgeous.
The owner came out to talk for a while.
One year he left a HUGE pumpkin at the roadway and let it rot completely because he thought the kids on the school bus that went by every day would enjoy the decay process.
Excellent bunches of California Golden Poppies which he divides each year and replants somewhere else in the yard.
