Hummingbirds for my father. In his last years, he would sit in his study and watch hummingbirds at his window. After we scattered his ashes in a meadow in the Eastern Sierra, and rode back to the car, a hummingbird was hovering over a nearby flower. Had never seen one up so high.

My son's book, out in March, 2027, has a cover! www.instagram.com/p/DavLFxftv1M/ From @marinerbooks.bsky.social. "A heartbreaking, sexy debut following a tumultuous year in the life of a late-twenties gay textile artist who must help his father die as his own life transforms." Beautifully written:).

A young man wearing a beige knitted mask stand in front of a knit self-portrait, holding a novel called "End Of Life," with a picture of the same portrait on the cover. Patrick Carroll is the artist and author.

I think my favorite face in the World Cup is the Iranian goalie. He looks like the king of somewhere.

As Big Basin park recovers from its fire, apparently all kinds of less common butterflies are showing up. Some of them have made their way down the mountain to us. Witness a California Tortoiseshell on some simple roses in my front yard. 🌱

One thing you learn about gardening is that if you grow enough flowers you like there will be days when you can run outside, grab whatever, come back, cram your finds in some vases and presto chango beauty in the house. 🌱

My brilliant and beautiful son, apparently an icon of modern gay culture (according to his gallerist), artist and 2027 debut novelist (Mariner imprint), has released a collection of knitted, text-augmented thongs. Go take a look. He's also the sweetest guy:) Buy here. www.summon-elemental.com/shop

Many colorful knit thongs with the artist's textual work laid out to form an oval, tie strings crossing in the middle of the image. (Patrick Carroll)

Green border. Yes, I irrigate. It's California. Who knows how many more years this will be a reasonable approach? For now, the same sprinklers that water these plants also sustain 6 trees, 3 of them native species.

It is SO dangerous here. Those wild turkeys and women in orange dresses will get you every time.

Oof. Maybe we need a Bluesky Day of Touching Grass. If we must be here, for every post on politics, we have to also post one photo of our real world. Can be scenic, but not required.

My son, the artist and novelist, Patrick Carroll, made this shirt - as well as the one on the cover of Mr. Styles's new album. Feels surreal, and I'm just the mom! This image is from the Apple Music iTunes Store opening screen.

Had the best dumplings, as per usual, at iDumpling in Redwood City. Walked back to the car past Peruvian restaurant, Mexican, Korean, and Pilates. Oh, and House of Humor with tiaras in the window. Here's the mural in the parking lot. Still so much good in this country.

10 seconds of an SF Bay Area suburban creek running strong. This one doesn't flood up here; down closer to the Bay it has in the past. That said, I can feel my garden thrilling to the rains.
