Hello! Mostly this is a technical test. For some reason my last post (months ago!) did not go out to my mailing list. I finally got around to checking on things and figuring out which Plug In to WordPress manages my mailing list — you are all still there, thank you! Maybe after a few updates it will work this time? Meanwhile a short list of what we’ve been up to.
I had an amazing weekend in the nearby town of Ojai with friends (for 15 years!) Jen, Michelle, and Kris. There was laughter, hiking, a waterfall and delicious food. Quality time spent with good friends is priceless!
This really weird and cool stinky fungus popped up in the broken cement beside our house. Because it never stopped raining this spring we have had all the fungi, cactus blooms, and all the pollen!
My dad had a little health scare, so I did an emergncy weekend trip home to Pennsylvania. I’m so grateful we spent that time together. We even took this nice long walk. He’s doing quite well right now. <3
We’ve had some good early garden success. We’ve been rich in kale, chard, and lettuce all winter. I also grew my first ever carrots over winter. In addition to the aforementioned we’re now enjoying peas, summer squash, green beans, and will have tomatoes soon!
OK, fingers crossed that this post ends up in your in box.
great pics DIL! I so look forward to your posts. That “fun-guy” is really cool. Also the waterfall is amazing. Can’t wait to see you!
Also, you look so much like your Dad! Its very cool

Got it. Thanks for catching us up.
