A spring weekend really needs to be four days to accommodate all the incredible stuff there is to do.  Let&#8217;s get those bright minds in Congress on that right away.  Here in Southern California, tomorrow, May 5, is the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.venicegardentour.org\/\">Venice Garden and Home Tour,<\/a> which overlaps the <a href=\"http:\/\/janeswalk.net\/about\">Jane Jacobs Walks<\/a> that are taking place in cities across the globe.  The &#8220;What Would Jane Do&#8221; walk for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.janejacobswalk.org\/category\/cities\/losangeles2012\/\">Los Angeles<\/a> will take place in the Silver Lake neighborhood and includes former homes of Richard Neutra and Anais Nin.  (Raise your hand if you read the entire collection of Nin&#8217;s diaries in your late teens\/early twenties.)  You can see if there&#8217;s a walk taking place in your city <a href=\"http:\/\/janeswalk.net\/\">here<\/a>.  The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.heardsgardentour.com\/\">Mary Lou Heard Memorial Garden Tour<\/a> also takes place this weekend, and guess who&#8217;s on the tour Sunday?  Some clues:  He&#8217;s on my blogroll and is a garden designer and master of the non-sequitur who will be opening his garden Sunday to the curious hordes, of which I am and always will be one.  Addresses on the self-guided tour for both days can be found <a href=\"http:\/\/www.heardsgardentour.com\/docs\/mlhaddresses2012.pdf\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>And without any context, just some odds and ends from recent garden tours.<\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i52.photobucket.com\/albums\/g23\/botanizeme\/marvista2012\/_MG_3509.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Photobucket\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i52.photobucket.com\/albums\/g23\/botanizeme\/marvista2012\/Untitled.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Untitled\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i52.photobucket.com\/albums\/g23\/botanizeme\/marvista2012\/_MG_3494.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Photobucket\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i52.photobucket.com\/albums\/g23\/botanizeme\/marvista2012\/421marvista066.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Photobucket\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><small>Top three photos by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mitchellmaher.org\/\">MB Maher<\/a>.<\/small><\/p>\n<p><\/center><br \/>\n<\/big><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spring is such a great whoosh of a season, isn&#8217;t it?
