I am 100% scurvy-free!
In the foreground, my feet in running shoes resting on a rock. Beyond, a steep grass hillside stretching down to a wooded valley and pale blue water shining in the distance under blue sky and low white morning sun.
Quick second breakfast & #SitClub — carefully avoiding that clump of fresh poison oak at my feet 👀
Shiny green disks of miner’s lettuce with tiny white flowers at their centre, in sun-dappled shade.
Since I left home this morning, an hour & several miles & several hillsides ago, I’ve been looking forward to filling my mouth with the fresh bitterness of winter purslane by the creek. That is what I am now doing.
To be clear, I am a guest here.
move slow and repair things
Pretty much described in the text above. All under a cloudless blue sky.
Our green spring hills, our blue mountain, & a tiny San Francisco on the hazy horizon.
(& when I say “our,” this is the unceded native land of Coast Miwok people & the Yelamu, an independent tribe of the Ramaytush Ohlone)
Moon & me both playing hooky for a bit.
Rosy sunrise light on a green wooded hill under blue sky. A watercolour circle on setting moon.
Long pink light on the Friday hill & a (ma)lingering moon.
Violence to trees is the worst.
I found yesterday that one of the most lovely local wisterias is gone. Wildfire safety rules are no joke around here, but I will mourn it.
Outrageous.
UK friends/Friends:
“Quakers in Britain are joining other civil society organisations to organise a mass lobby of parliament at 2–5pm on Tuesday 17 March 2026.
[Or] you can write to your MP using Liberty's tool to ask them to vote against the anti-protest clauses in the Crime and Policing Bill.”
Ooh we had this edition & it was traumatic!

Good news that the execrable Kristi Noem has been fired, but Trump should really be firing Stephen Miller, the primary engineer of the vile ethnic reengineering agenda and murderously violent civic tensions that are sucking all of them into a bottomless political sinkhole, Trump included.
Here's the direct link. Hope the campaign succeeds! www.dorsetarchivestrust.org/project/sylv...
Vivid memories of going to the house of a rich friend's very conservative parents (stiff & awkward conversation about why I was in "Women's Studies" & why wasn't there a "Men's Studies" dept?) & being appalled to find a Lichtenstein in their guest loo. Reactionaries can even like iconoclastic art! 😮
(Although I’m not sure I was ever so naive as to think only good people made art.)
Still mourning my youthful days when I thought art made people good.
Omg
For a few priceless minutes, yes.
Sun rising over wooded and slightly misty hills, everything golden.
Looking west, away from the sunrise, to green low hills with a warm pink glow at the horizon above them and then a blue cloudless sky.
Popped over the ridge to our old neighbourhood, into the warm glow of the light, & was delighted to see the white-tailed kite that nests there, hunting with its distinctive tail-down hover on the lower flanks of the hill — golden light passing through its spread feathers.
I can only be glad that it enjoyed a peaceful evening ramble enhanced by the gentle soundtrack of your tinkling.
That’s actually pretty special. I only ever see dead ones. Velvety but sad.
Pastoral.
Ah, so unpretentious and precious. Thanks, Nicholas.
I will say only, in grief, that Epic Fury is not the exclusive property of our rancid government.
A few petals of orange California poppy in long grass in dim light. Beyond, a line of lavender water reflecting a fiery sunrise sky in neon orange and violet.
A lush green hill and a glimpse of pale violet-blue water below, under a pink-orange sunrise sky.
Orange and grey clouds stretched above steel grey water.
Early morning blue sky with wind-spread pale pink-yellow cloud, above a green landscape.
Again a half-dozen hares exploded away from me as I reached the ridge & the incredible eastern sky came into view. As if they’d been having a secret dance there.
(Hey, are you even trying if you aren’t at least *risking* being fey?)
