In search of a snack, we found a cute Indian cafe and enjoyed their samosas before getting back on the road.

What to do with some of the many Meyer lemons in this yard? Salt them generously and pack them in a jar. Inspired by a new cookbook, I had fun making these today; they’ll be ready to use in recipes in about 3 weeks.

We jumped to our next lilypad this afternoon, in the middle of a doozy of a storm. Now we’re snug and warm, and dinner is simmering, and we’re grateful to good friends who let us stay in their homes.

I’m (22 years) late to the party on this one. It’s the best book I’ve read so far this year (I know, we’re only seven weeks in.) Have you read it?

It was so good to meet with SMMNJC again this past weekend. Due to vacation, holidays, and wildfires it had been four months since I’d got to hang out with the gang. We welcomed four newcomers, and all enjoyed our time in the sun. I got curious about the arroyo willow flowers and identified male/female. Did not identify the odd stem growth, but mysteries are OK by me.
