Timelies all!
The coffee bar in my building that makes vanilla chai lattes has reopened. Yay!(They've been closed since last March)
Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

Didn't feel it!
Huh! It was a long one that had my TV and computer monitor rattling and hard to pinpoint which one with all the earthquake activity, but probably was the 5.9 out of Smith Valley, NV.

I was able to access the new Leverage thru Prime. I’m trying to keep myself to one episode per day to make it last.

Personally, I'd rather deal with the pits when eating then pit the cherries.
This was me, BUT…
I bought a cherry-pitter this year just for clafoutis.
Although I have not tested it yet.

I'm incapable of that kind of self-control.

Punishingly Intricate
Leaving the cherry pits in clafoutis is supposed to make it more almond-y and I'm pro that!

I do not have a cherry pitter but last year found out my reusable metal straws are pretty perfect for that.
Went for a walk with a friend and the dog got covered in what I fear is foxtail grass, which if I don't get it out of his fur could really hurt him. So I spent quite a while digging through his fur (HE HAS SO MUCH FUR) but doubt I really got all of them, though I got bunches. Also worried there's some in his paws or he ate it or sniffed it and it will tunnel through to his brain and kill him (I've heard horror stories!)

Our wings are not tired
Clafoutis is my hammock stand.
I think the cherries occluded my hammock signal.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
I am near Bev and we will watch tomorrow!
Vacation has consisted of oversleeping, eating food I didn't cook, hanging out at Bev's and going to many bookstores not generally close to me. Oh, and attending a fireworks display with Ken on the 4th, then tromping around the Bellevue Botanical Gardens with him the next day. Hadn't seen him since Christmas; there was a lot of hugging.

Yeah, that's super common in the Bay Area. Any grasses that look like wheat you need to keep away from during the summer months. If you pull it and it catches on your fingers, like it has microscopic barbs? Keep the dog on leash and away from all that. I know multiple dogs who have had to have major surgery from foxtails. There are people around here who put mesh cages over their dogs' heads to protect their eyes and ears from foxtails. It's no joke.
I'm glad you took it seriously.
