This museum is a real gem for learning about the pre-Silicon Valley history of the area. Among other things, the area used to be one of the biggest fruit-growing regions of the country, and next to the museum is a park in a surviving apricot orchard.

We went to Baylands Park in Sunnyvale. This is a very goo park with with lots of space to ride bikes, hike, play, and have picnics. A unique feature of the park is the Animal Assisted Park area. There are lots of animals to see such as goats, etc. There is also the pretty to photograph Baylands Grove area of the park.

9:20am, just finished watching Andrew Cuomo's daily TV address. Wife and I get our morning's exercise walking 40 minutes through the beautiful tree lined neighborhoods of south central Sunnyvale, right in the center of silicon valley. We walk one block from our house in a residential neighborhood, through a pedestrian corridor to reach Las Palmas park, 18+ acres the second largest park in the city. The houses on both sides of the pedestrian corridor were built in 1995 replacing the cherry orchards. Houses on other sides of the park were built in 1966, when chip and mainframe computer industries were developing. Huge open area of freshly cut grassy fields, intersected by pedestrian sidewalks, surrounded on three sides by residential homes, and on the 4th side by Sunnyvale Tennis Center's 16 lighted pay to play tennis courts. Signs at the entrances to the park: "Physical distancing required. Maintain a distance of 6 feet apart. Do not congregate in groups. Parks for passive use only. No team sports or pickup games. Stay home if you don't feel well". The kids playground is closed, the dog park is closed, the baseball field closed, and the tennis courts are closed, all since the March 17 announcement by Santa Clara county to shelter in place. Some people sitting at the picnic tables under the trees, while others walk their dogs. No picnicking in groups. Got to watch your step on the grass when going around people, to maintain the 6 feet social distance , as some dog owners don't pick up after their pets. Lots of people like myself running or jogging on the mile in circumference streets and concrete pathways surrounding the park. Public bathrooms closed, forcing the homeless to go elsewhere. No RVs nor campers allowed to park overnight in the parking lots, nor on the streets surrounding the park. We are so close to the park that on garbage collection day, people dump their trash from picnics in the park into our bins, when the park bins are overflowing. They put their plastics in my recycling bins, not knowing that only plastic bottles are recyclable, not plastic packaging. Guess who has to tip the bin over and dig down to pick out the plastic packaging? And with some cop car coming around the corner thinking I'm stealing. Waiting until today to do a review of the place. City Park & Recreation open for lawn mowing, but not barbers. Only recently has the grass been cut. Apparently cutting the lawns more essential than cutting my hair.

A great little company, they sell mail-order cherries. They are expensive, and worth every penny. I've sent these to my mom, who used to pick cherries in the Valley when she was a girl. If she says they are outstanding, they are outstanding. The cherries they shipped to her at Mother's Day wee from their own orchard. The ones she received this week (12/17/2020) were from the southern hemisphere, and they were perfect. And delivered on time!! The attention to detail is like concierge service. My mom is in her 80s, at the stage of shedding possessions, so the gift of delicious perfect cherries is exactly what she wanted.

We have enjoyed a number of great lunches on Murphy Street. Due to covid, they shut down the street to cars. Restaurants can then set up tables in the street. Its usually nice weather there. We've enjoyed places like Fibbar Magee, Metro City, Dish Dash, Lilly Macs, etc. Service is always good. Some restaurants do not offer patio dining but offer take out such as Tao Tao.
