I grew sunflowers this year for the first time in several years and I\u2019m so glad I did. Van Gogh bouquets for the table, gifts of bouquets for friends, a cheerful presence in the garden on the gloomiest of days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We had a visit from my niece Lena and her daughter Della who is ten-months-old and rather cute, don\u2019t you think?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Lena and Della and I went to the Mendocino Farmers Market together and Lena bought shishitos<\/em> to go with our tamales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Now Marcia and I are in love with shishitos<\/em>. So easy to cook and so delicious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The giant two-headed monster log that was way out near the mouth of Big River got moved inland on a big tide. Every time I go to the beach the behemoth is somewhere new. What a beauty!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Work moves apace on my book The Dog Who Wanted A Person<\/em> with illustrations by Miruna Constantin, local wunderkind prodigy with a pencil. With good fortune we hope to publish the book ere long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Marcia just posted a fun instructional video on YouTube teaching you how to play a 2:3 poly-rhythm with shakers<\/a>. Not to be missed if you\u2019ve ever longed to play such a thing. Such fun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
