Reading
- The Radiant Dark by Alexandra Oliva. Marketed as "Arrival meets Wild Dark Shore," which is how I got hooked. It's more of a generational family drama with a light sci-fi backdrop. I'm really liking it anyway.
- Steal the Sky by Megan E. O'Keefe. Not set in space, but has very strong Firefly vibes.
Blooming
- Monardella villosa ssp. franciscana 'Russian River'
- Eriogonum grande var. rubescens
- Eriogonum fasciculatum
- Penstemon 'GMR White'
- Salvia clevelandii x 'Pozo Blue'
- Salvia 'Celestial Blue'
- Verbena lilacina 'De La Mina'.
Growing
- California native plants, always.
- Tomatoes: Cherokee Purple, Sungold, and an unknown Roma variety that a neighbor gave me.
- Strawberries (Albion) and blueberries (Sunshine Blue, Misty, Emerald, and Jewel).
Watching
- The Other Bennett Sister
- Margo's Got Money Troubles
Working
