Lucca, wonder dog and world traveler, had cataract surgery at Cornell University in November. All went well and he breezed through three post-operation check-ups. But just to be sure, he had a penultimate check-up at the UC Davis veterinary hospital, the world's largest canine ophthalmological center. Davis is located just west of Sacramento. Ken and I drove with both dogs, and while I remained with Lucca during his appointment, Ken and Marco explored UC Davis' botanical garden, nurseries and greenhouses. We want to go back - they have a plant sale coming up and were in the midst of preparing drought-resistant plant materials for public sale. Many of the plant materials appealed very much to us, partly by virtue of their textures, and partly because of the many shades of green a broad selection of would present. [

| It made us want to garden in California |
 |
| So many textures, colors and shapes |
 |
| A gorgeous plant - such a fresh green |
 |
| We liked this lavender, too |
 |
| A final favorite - Cape Balsam |
 |
| Their promise: easy to grow! |
 |
| Back seat, heading back home - exhausted |
