Mar 2022

in CA had to invent “the earthquake game” with their preschooler after she was traumatized by one.

Our friend had put a large tarp over several young trees, and it was trying to take off like a parasail when we went over. Turned out to be quite a job. No to giant tarps for that. Also turned out we had a tornado here, but safely out of our neighborhood and no one killed. The emergency warning system was down for repairs, so it hit others the old-fashioned way. Surprise!

The master gardeners gardening festival is still on today though, so off we go.

Happy Sunday.
