It was a fine morning, the sun shining bright.  
A brisk westerly wind was blowing away the valley smog offshore. 
The neighborhood's resident Squirrel Couple were playfully moving from tree to tree through the overhead  
electric cable freeways skillfully avoiding 10,000 volts of fatal bare wire sections. While the birds were joyfully  
hopping on the ground pecking on breakfasts of discarded french fries, seeds, and aluminum can lift rings,  
- we posed on the neighbor's frontyard and took these video shots. 

How could we resist? The Grass was green, well trimmed, and inviting.  
The flowers on the boxes were blooming in brilliant hues of pastel colors beckoning us both to come near. . .   
It's NOT just another morning in California. It is THE MORNING that My Sister and I are both together again,  
after a long, long absence. It is a Great Day without question, needing to spend it in Happy Celebration.  
It has to be, and it must be,  as we hadn't seen each other for Ten Long Years! 
So off we go for a day of visit to Universal Studios.  
Tomorrow we'll be at Rodeo Drive. 

Life is short, time is fleeting, and Today will soon be gone. 
In our lifetime we may never see this kind of day together, again.  
The future holds no solemn promise of another bright and sunny day. 
And even if it does, with the birds flying, the blooms swaying,  
- would it be Beautiful again just like today? 
If My Beloved Sister is NOT Here to Spend that Special Day with Me?
