After a couple of days of feeling puny, woke up today almost normal.
Wrote a “gratitude list” for daily reflection BEFORE diving into the negativity of social media, news subscriptions, political & cultural realities. (So much of my personal life is just as I wish it - but crises get the attention & angst. This helps!)
Good food day - egg salad for brunch, Mexican stuffed peppers for dinner. 😊
Brief but very fun visit with visiting vagabond son & DIL. He photographed the rose below at a popular Sacramento rose garden.
Bought & potted petunias to add color & keep the bonsai forest happy. Pomegranate bonsai is already budding.
Big, fat bumblebee & yellow butterfly inspecting the star jasmine that bloomed overnight. (I have about 200 sq ft of jasmine…May is a heavenly-scented month.)

I had no idea it was World Tapir Day. How lovely. Thank you #ThreeGoodThings
I've made a pencil case
We've found out where the hens are escaping
We're having lentil daal for dinner
Grateful for having lived in Nevada (Desert! Sierra! Snow!) and California (Ocean! Hills & mountains! Agricultural fields! Rivers! Redwoods!). Miss the coast but happy to live in sunshine.
Grateful for all living creatures which call Earth home, especially birds, & most especially seabirds (Pelicans! Albatrosses!)
Grateful for this little plot of land and comfortable house, in this county & state, in this hemisphere, on this amazing, precious planet. #EarthDay2024
Last night I went to see Ex-Kraftwerk Wolfgang Flür perform. Peter Duggal was his warm up act. It was an amazing night with friends.
I stepped more than three times my daily step goal last night dancing!
I brought Wolfgang's Machine one album today and Peter's CD last night. The merchandise stand was cash only so I didn't have enough to get Wolfgang to sign one of his albums or t-shirts 😪
Another sunny, beautiful day in NorCal with just the perfect light breeze. Forecast is for more of the same.
Making Mexican stuffed bell peppers in the air fryer tonight - 21 minutes total. Yum.
Rebel root stock from a hybrid tea rose is blooming like crazy — wayward branches wrap around a fence corner & spread 15 feet, plus climbing two crape myrtle trees.
