This week is "Tickle a Teapotter" week! Yippee, hooray!! Sabrina, aka cook22, is hosting this week and has given up the challenge to be about the weather.
While there are so many across the US that are suffering the consequences of drought, I want to add a little sunshine into our lives without the heat, by bringing happy sunflowers to the tea party. Have you ever noticed how their sunny faces follow the sun? We have fields of these cheery flowers in our northern central valley, mixed in with the rice fields. It makes the drive along Interstate 5 a little more pleasant.
I don't have any good ocean stamps, but I can send you all the link to the webcam I use to see if the fog is going to come in and cool us down. This is also just south of where Mutnik's DD goes with her horse Nobie. And, if any of you have seen Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds, this is partly where it was filmed (just over the hill). http://bml.ucdavis.edu/about/webcams/
So those of you in land locked states, here's the Pacific Ocean.

What a happy wonderful card, Jennifer...yes sun flowers do indicate that great weather is with us. Yesterday my toes were in the Atlantic Ocean...clear across the state from us, but NJ is a lot more narrow than CA ;) It isn't Cali. but most of the Jersey shore is naturally beautiful. Those Jersey shore folks are actually from NY - but give us a bad name...ugh. Wonderful teapotter card...will surely tickle someone!
