Poppy Cocked for Spring in California
The astronomical winter in North America ends on March 19th, but I’m already feeling poppy-cocked to see California’s state flower adorn our green spaces in spring.

Passing Shot: Driving in the Sierras

I never would have guessed that Disc Golf would become one of my favorite outdoor recreational activities, but it has. My partner has been playing the sport for over 20 years and is, in part, responsible for getting me hooked. That’s me in the photo throwing a backhand drive down the fairway of hole 12 on the Sierra College course in Truckee. There are an estimated 233 courses in the state of California, and over 4000 registered courses in the United States according to the Disc Golf Association. It is doubtful that I will play all of them, but I am certain that I will have fun trying.

Snapping photographs with my mobile device from the passenger seat of a car usually requires a bit of editing before I publish it to my creative diary. This endearing image was taken during a recent visit to Valley Springs, California.
Passing Shot: A Heart in San Francisco
I put aside my grief today to have lunch with friends and made time for a visit to Ocean Beach and the Sutro Baths.
My love came home with me, but I left this heart in San Francisco:

Community Supported Agriculture and One Dog Friendly Kitchen
This month’s Farm Fresh delivery to our door from Capay Organic. (Dog not included.)
Our monthly Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) delivery from Capay Organic’s Farm Fresh to You produce arrived on Friday. We initially signed up for the service with a short-term commitment in mind; bridge the deficit that our back yard farming efforts do not provide us so that our nutritional needs could be better met. Shopping at local grocery store chains for vegetables trucked from the Central Valley is one thing but to buy produce from Canada or Mexico? I prefer not to be a part of that economy because it isn’t necessary for us to do so. We have access to fertile land in a garden I call Eden, otherwise known as California. What might our world be like if more people were granted access to land to grow their own food and help sustain their communities?
Stella sneaks a lick of the King Richard Leek when she thought I wasn’t looking.
Please support your local farmers. Plant seeds of your own. The rewards are worth the effort.
