These flowers make me so happy. Nigella, or Love in a Mist, bloomed prolifically in Berkeley, were almost a weed, but here, where it’s cooler, they haven’t been as easy to grow.

And then there are these two deer, out in the meadow by the Limantour Road. I was extending the walk down to get the paper, and there they were. I’m not a big fan of deer, definitely don’t want them in my garden, but those ears are so great.
