Some days I only have time to draw what’s on my desk. And it’s always better than drawing nothing.

But hey, shouldn’t it be binocular? We call a bike a bicycle and a wallet a bifold, no plurals needed. But then, I never claimed English was consistent.

Tinkers is a very poetic, non-linear book (you’d hate it, A.) with incredibly rich nature descriptions and thought-provoking generational connections and philosophical musings. I read it straight through and started again at the beginning, pencil in hand. I’m looking forward to our book group discussion.

Trichostema lanceolatum

I was happy to see this out on the trails today! One of the last wildflowers to bloom in summer, vinegar weed is a favourite of mine. I love the smell, reminiscent of a sea salt and vinegar chip.

The volatile oils make it unpalatable to grazing and foraging animals, but useful to humans. The indigenous peoples of California used it as a traditional medicinal plant, as a cold and fever remedy, a pain reliever, and an insect repellent.
