Fisher-Price Swing (Sunnyvale)
Fisher-Price Sweet Snugapuppy Dreams Cradle 'n Swing Swings gently and plays music Great at soothing cranky babies. I think this is good for 0-12 months. I feel compelled to repeat the warning on the original packaging - Ensure your baby is buckled in and you are supervising the baby when in use.

Oster "Golden A5" Clippers (Palo Alto, near Cal Ave)
These clippers are thirty years old, but they haven't been used in decades, were only lightly used, still function perfectly and they were manufactured at a time when a lot of tools, Oster clippers definitely included, were made to last. There is one blade, 4mm, I believe, that comes with them. As I expect a lot of interest in these clippers, I will NOT gift them to first person who asks. I will wait a day or two, collect names, then draw one out of a hat.

1975 edition of Joy of Cooking (Palo Alto, near Cal Ave)
For a cook book, this book is in good shape. I have great sentimental attachment to this book because it's the book that I used to learn how to cook when I was ages six through twelve. This is the copy I bought for myself as a teen. I haven't cooked out of it in decades, so almost all of the pages are in good shape. The one that has a lot of "evidence of cooking" is the section on meatballs. But the binding on this book was made with the understanding that it was going to get a lot of hard use and was designed to last.

Irises, poppies, pink geranium (Palo Alto, near Cal Ave)
I don't know what color the irises are. Odds are they will be purple, but I can't be sure. I divided up dozens of irises this winter, replanted most of it and potted up several of the tubers. Plants are healthy and should bloom marvelously next year (they should be planted in the ground, not kept in these pots). In some of the pots are volunteer poppy plants - pink or red. One of the pots has a very hardy pink geranium in it.
