Now that I’ve cleared the weeds I need to figure out what to plant

Today’s Gardio Workout was digging a hole in hard Oakland clay so I can transplant this root bound rose bush

The rose is still alive, somehow, without having been watered (except rain and dew) for two or three years

I then pruned it way back. Maybe it will survive despite my lack of knowledge

Dopamine reward— seeing the compost bin filled with weeds this week. (Photo is my reward)

I’ve hacked back the hard to a rose that refuses to give up

Apparently someone (my husband) snuck a tomatillo plant in with the tomato plants when we bought them

Took a San Francisco Leather District walking tour today

I feel it posed more questions than it answered, but it was a fun way to spend two hours with my husband

I’ve harvested enough basil from our two balcony plants to make pesto for our supper. I think a July harvest will finally make this a profitable farming operation (versus just buying the leaves at the grocery store). Looks like one harvest each month, and I’m hoping it keeps up until October

Current political events are distressing. One form of my self care is taking a walk among the beautiful redwoods 10 minutes from my home.

I was lunch outside after my morning gardio exercise, and this scrub jay came over to join me

The pavement at Castro/Market is getting a new look

Happy Pride (LGBTQ) Month

The rainbow lights at the Castro Street Muni station are a great addition to public transit

Adventures in the garden

These are “weeds”, but they’re pretty. Maybe next year I’ll leave one patch of yard wild. We also get a lovely display of nasturtiums

Birthday lunch with my mom at Picante, Berkeley

If I can fill this up with weeds every week I’ll be on my way to regaining “control” of our back yard (achieving stasis)

What like most about this enormous statue at the foot of Market Street (San Francisco) is its translucency

Queer history plaques in the sidewalk, Castro neighborhood of San Franisco

It’s weird to see people you know venerated in the sidewalk

June is GLBTQ Pride Month; I’m kicking it off with a pic of the Harvey Milk Street sign in Portland, Oregon
