The day felt normal

I'm never sure what normal is, but my vertigo was a little better and I even put 10 gallons of dirt on my madrone wall. Hope to do twice that tomorrow. And I'm still waiting for rain. Business as usual.

Snakes still eating frogs.

Finally a normal number of butterflies for this time of year, though nothing unusual that I could find. Everything is in bloom. The sunflowers (or whatever they are) are at their peak. I was especially hoping to find a Mimosa Yellow or Mallow Scrub-Hairstreak since Brian found them while he was here. Maybe tomorrow.

The Woolly Paintbrush has lost its lustre except for this one fresh bloom down in the arroyo.
