I hope this post finds you sheltering in place with your favorite people, and with all the basic supplies you need. The future is now, with the whole nation (and much of the world) hunkered down to defeat our common enemy – coronavirus (a.k.a.,
COVID-19). For some it means working at home and homeschooling, for others it means loss of income and even lives. For some the science behind shelter in place makes perfect sense, for others the global response is overblown. Whatever the opinion, it is amazing to see the creative, innovative, and compassionate responses exhibited by so many people (toilet paper hoarding aside)!

We've seen a rash of cancellations as part of the response, including the beloved (and renamed)
San Fran-Nor Cal Flower & Garden Show, which had been scheduled for April 2-5. My aunt and I have been attending the show off and on for the last 20 years. Originally it was held at the Cow Palace in Daly City, then moved to the San Mateo County Event Center in San Mateo, then back to the Cow Palace. This year it was to be held in Sacramento. For various reasons my aunt and I haven't been able to attend for the past several years (several trips and a family wedding were involved). I had hoped we could attend this year, but life took another turn. We'll just have to rely on memories and ideas from past shows!

Luckily, next year's show is already scheduled for April 8-11, 2021, at Cal Expo in Sacramento. It looks like it will be a wonderful event, with great exhibits, speakers, and seminars. Take a
look, and get it on your calendar!
