new place in socal and what's happening soon

My apologies for being M.I.A. the last few weeks.  I have been moving from New Mexico back to sunny California. Unfortunately, when I left SoCal last October, I was forced to give up my wonderful home and garden, so I was not sure what kind of place I would find when I got back.  After a thorough search, I have found a nice studio apartment with a big balcony so I can at least have an herb garden.  It won't be the same as growing tomatoes and cantaloupes and pumpkins and eggplant and peppers like I did in the last place, but I am confident that I can make this new place my home.  

In other dimensions, I have 2 very exciting announcements:  First of all, Trek will be coming out to my neck of the woods next week to give me my new custom bicycle as well as photograph me for their upcoming catalog.  Hurray!

Also, on a Colleenification front, I am teaming up with talented furniture designer Tracy Steele in creating furniture for those of us of “exceptional height” as Tracy so whimsically states.  I am very excited about both of these upcoming events and will be sure to give you all full reports on both.

Also, stay tuned for new high five videos.  I am working towards campaigning for a National High Five Day and will need your help in the future!

How completely awesome! I can't wait to see the bike, so take lots of photos.

Jheri gave a lot of wonderful feeling high fives on Friday.

well it depends on what your surroundings are, if you have access to the top level of that parking garage, you just might be able to grow record breaking pumpkins, can you say world record, but seriously, check with te attendant, see if you can set up a little portable green house there, you can grow almost any thing in a pot, pot, a container that holds dirt, and plants, not the other kind, get your minds out of the gutter, but with just a little plastic sheeting and some tent poles you should be able to make a green house.

or see if you can get access to your roof, there might just be enough room up there to do that too, and tomatoes grow fine in pots.

or ask the company that owns the land about a comunity garden, they might just let you set one up for the rest of the tennants, you might be able to tell them that they can get carbon off set credits for it, and it would let them look like they are caring for the enviroment, and there many other things you can do.

like i said, it depends on your surroundings.
