before Amy
I went back to Malibu to hear Amy Tan talk about The Backyard Bird Chronicles. Before the event, I took myself out to dinner. Instead of ordering the cheapest glass of wine on the menu, I spent the extra $3 and got the most expensive. Self-care 😊.
old time fiddlers
I’ve been wanting to visit the Beatrice Wood Center for the Arts for a long time. A rainy day free concert was the impetus to finally go.

gifts
Nearly everything I now own was given to me as a gift.
I spent today worried about Bodie, who was at the vet. In the end, the worst did not come to pass, and she is likely to heal just fine with the right meds. The vet said her blood work was as good as a 2 year old dog’s (she’s 13, so that’s saying something.) In a week of enormous loss, this news was a most welcome gift.
under the oaks
I spent much of the day at beautiful King Gillette Ranch, both staffing a booth for Malibu Creek State Park, and enjoying the music of the annual Topanga Banjo Fiddle Contest. I plucked this mushroom from under the nearby valley oak and was intrigued by its strong smell, so I asked a few people to sniff and describe. We settled on soy saucy chocolate. Later I found fresh specimens of the same species; their aroma was much milder. No, we were not tempted to taste them.
