A 6-month DIY project of installing pavers in between our new home addition and the garage comes to a finish last weekend. Still a few more minor things to add but good timing before the rainy season.

I dropped by ballot off yesterday. I voted #YesOn50. I understand this is a slippery slope but currently the typical rules are no longer being followed. So we need to do something now.

Finally got some garden time. I’m working on transitioning my crops from summer to cool weather. Plus, reset and refresh the beds. I’m concerned there’s tree root invasion and how much extra work and time it is going to take to investigate and fix.

Unfortunately location of the Heath ceramics shop. This area gets flooded all the time with the king tides. I hope it doesn’t get to a point where they will need to move. This is a historic location.

I love the mustard color of this line.

Yeah, I don’t know what happened. All of the sudden I had to re-login and they said my account was suspended after review. But I couldn’t access my account to see what was flagged or retrieve any of my data. 🤷🏻‍♀️

A Youtube short about the article. No longer only intended for Halloween costumes or Bay to Breakers. 🤘🏻 youtube.com/shorts/Jb8rX...

Good thing we canceled our subscription to Spotify last year.

Aw, RIP Westminster Mall. I also went here as a teenager.

I always wondered what this building is when I walked by. Thank you for sharing the history of this place. It’s always sad to see a part of history taken down.

Yum, this sounds great. I’m looking for fall cookie recipes to try.

Last weekend, I made sourdough English muffins for the first time. The recipe I used was too wet and took forever to incorporate more dough and rest until it became workable.

All dogs are good. It’s the people.

Coincidental an M3.1 earthquake occurred today — which is the Great ShakeOut!

This rainy weather calls for noodle soup. 🍜 😋

Love your nautical color themed series!

I’m not sure what happened but my #threads account has been disabled. But my IG account is fine. I’m unable to go back and try to understand, so that’s that. Lost my entries of logging our home year long renovations.

September’s cooking and baking adventure.

A cute fuzzy bee squishing around a sunflower in my garden. Sharing a little sunshine during this time who may need it.

My sourdough venture continues with every other load turning out good. 😅

First baby summer harvest. It’s been unusual weather this year, so plants are slow growing.

Got my first corn tassels!

A corn-er update:
Growing strong and added a few pole beans in between.

With the BET Awards happening in downtown LA, I was wondering who was going to say something first. Doechii really is that girl.

This is the way to stand up to these bullies! Respect ✊

Picked some lavender from the garden today.
