a.i.s.
We learned about the aquatic invasive species in our local creeks. Basically if you catch a fish in Malibu Creek, and it‘s not an arroyo chub, then it‘s invasive. Please don’t throw it back in!

summer sewing
I examined my summer wardrobe and discovered it has some holes — literally! Most of my t-shirts are holey! So today I whipped up a couple of new ones from fabric that’s been in the stash for way too long.

Here are the sketchnotes from our last book group meeting—they’re pretty irrelevant if you weren’t there, or haven’t read the book. As always, I am not sketchnoting the book itself, but our two-hour discussion of it, which is always more free-ranging and interesting than I manage to sum up in one page.

Delphinium cardinale
One of our three native larkspurs, this perennial member of the buttercup family blooms from May to July in chaparral and coastal sage scrub. I don’t see a lot of it, so it’s always a treat to find one of the tall displays of bright red flowers.
Lilium humboldtii
This week in the PerpJo: Humboldt’s Lily. We SMM hikers look forward to these all year, and exchange notes on where they are blooming. So nice to see some today!
