... as did we, but - arriving when the temperature was still 104 - we were all a little wilted. But here you'll see four little troughs of herbs, and geraniums, and probably a few stray tiny morning glory plants. We didn't exactly smuggle them back from Santa Fe (where they would almost certainly have perished from drought or - the geraniums, in a month or so - from frost), because technically it's legal to bring plants into California from Santa Fe county. But not all plant inspectors at the border know that, so they crossed the state line and through the inspection station sweating away under some judiciously positioned raincoats. Of course, we weren't stopped - I don't think we have been under this regime, since the personnel are doubtless off somewhere doing less savory things.
