Showy roadside wildflower displays along the Lake county Napa line in the hot interior coast ranges. These are called farewell-to-spring because they bloom at the tail end of spring. #bloomscrolling #NativeFlowers

The first of the dahlias are coming up. This year I remembered to pinch out the plants to make them bushier so I get more flowers and they aren’t so tall. I will still need to stake them though. #dahlia #gardening

Little free library used for puzzles in our town. It is surprisingly busy! Puzzles and audiobooks are my evening guilty pleasure in the winter. #littlefreelibrary

This is Tori. Nine weeks old. My neighbor’s new canine companion in training puppy. She will train and socialize her for 1.5 years and then give her to someone that needs her desperately. She has the best temperament- sweet and patient. #caninecompanion #dogs #puppies

CNPS vernal pool workshop today at Jepson prairie. Stunning flowers and several rare plants. My boots were yellow at the end of the day from the goldfield pollen. #bloomscrolling #vernalpools

A story in 3 photos. A super cool chicken farm with a roadside egg, honey, and butter stand. Pay $0.25 for chicken feed. Happy chickens break out of the ranch (plus some sparrows) and come on over for snacks. Brilliant marketing department. #chickens #organicfarming

Mouse-Mouse discovers applewood slow cooked in the oven bacon (cooked for 3 hours - so it caramelizes) and his world has changed for the better. Same — Mousey. I feel the same. (It’s only a teeny bite - that’s too much sodium for big bites.) #caturday

TurboTax is the devil. Never ever again will I use that awful mess of buggy code. #taxes

Tulips! I’m hoping they don’t get hammered by the rain and wind. The orange and pink color combination is new to me this year. The reds will all come in later. #bloomscrolling #tulips

My lazy gardening practices have been rewarded today! My dead Japanese anemones (from my mom’s garden) went to seed and produced all this fluff. The hummingbirds are grabbing little puffballs of it to make nests with. This makes me so happy. I’m watching this little mama to see if I can find where her nest is. Rock on little mama bird - fare thee well. #gardening #Hummingbirds #birds

Tulip planting over the break. About 2,000 going in. These are pre-chilled, thankfully, because the beer fridge would not hold all of these. #tulips

A favorite from my childhood. Fry Bread. New Mexico - near the Jemez Pueblo. Made by hand - the baker was taught by her mother and she’s teaching her daughter. #newmexico

Oh my, airport filled with sick people hacking and splutter-coughing. Poor lady throwing up in the bathroom - although this is Vegas - so that could be unrelated. I’m glad I’m wearing a mask.

More pie practice. All butter crust. Apple pie on the left and blackberry on the right. Next time I’ll try a lattice crust. I cooked both fillings before putting them into the bottom crust to deepen the flavor and avoid soggy bottoms. #pie
