Googles "recipes that use cheap beer"

(after figuring out it is near useless for slug trapping, and mostly just good for keeping the Wood Rat happy).

Hmm... incoming #heatwave maybe for California -- at least, the computer models are definitely spitting out heat for the Central Valley and Northern California #CAwx

The other night:

Me: "I think there's something alive in that box!"

My son: "You're imagining things!"

Me: " I hear something"

(we check box, take it outside... nothing)

Today: "rustle, rustle"

(looks UNDERNEATH THE BOX)

(large Jerusalem cricket trapped in the tape holding the box shut!!! Had to put it out of its misery... but it's been here for a week 😬 )

Showy roadside wildflower displays along the Lake county Napa line in the hot interior coast ranges. These are called farewell-to-spring because they bloom at the tail end of spring. #bloomscrolling #NativeFlowers

Hmm, one wonders if this is "Jan. 6" style popcorn or prior-to-2016 standard patriotic popcorn?

The first of the dahlias are coming up. This year I remembered to pinch out the plants to make them bushier so I get more flowers and they aren’t so tall. I will still need to stake them though. #dahlia #gardening
