Even through a touch-and-go week, the plants are blooming up happily! The curious cactus has put up a new set of leaves, while the wildflowers treat everything like a competitor for sun.

been. For one thing, I have a confession to make - I left my plants alone nearly all week. I went on a long vacation. I didn't know what the weather would be like, and I took a gamble on how to water them.

All the flowers are finally showing life! The second heat wave seems to be agreeing with them, and they're coming up... well, not roses. A bunch of other things instead! Even the ever-dominant thyme is flowering. There's plenty of new leaves to share.

The thyme is still producing enough leaves to feed a family, and the tomato is now the largest plant on my balcony. Looks like the watering problems of last year have been solved, and the plants are showing their happiness.

We're a few weeks into Spring, and nature doesn't show any signs of stopping. The grass is greener on the other side, on this side, really on any side that has grass.

I hope these hummingbirds' momma doesn't freak out too much!
I've started loving a muted color palette after spending some time wilderness camping. The plants, rocks, even the earth underneath it all is thriving with its tan palette. I wonder how much the color changes when there's rain!
Two things that you have to do during a Maine autumn -
Some more amazing fall colors in Boston! We don't get anything like that in SoCal, and especially not in front of lovely brick buildings.
There's some wonderfully subtle (and not so subtle) plant life around the Harvard area, even as winter starts its approach.
Always a fan of finding Ginkgo trees in the city! 🍂 They're such sturdy sulfer-eaters. 🌲 We could do with more of these trees in LA. They might clean up some of the smog!
Finally got around to making some salsa with the Shishito peppers! It turned out quite well, and not nearly as spicy as expected.
Always loving the hikes with the Sierra Club!
Found this ferocious beast growing next to the olive tree. I was told that having mushrooms in soil indicates high nutrients - and here I'd been thinking it was about time to fertilize.
