Greetings from Northern California. It is 44F here and dark. Yesterday I found three more eucalyptus trees had come down at the creek. 2 big ones, 1 small one. They didn't fall on any fences but they are blocking access to a portion of the field that will need to be mowed come summer. Total trees lost to the winter storms: 11 and counting.
My tea is delicious this morning. Have a wonderful day!

Greetings! It is dark and 45F. Not currently raining. Last night's power outage didn't last all that long but it got to 58F in the house, which is cold. Anyway, I have delicious tea and am hoping for calmer weather than yesterday.
Have fabulous day!
Greetings from NorCal. It is dark and 44F. It is not raining. I have delicious tea.
Have a marvelous day whenever you are.
@Alfred what's an interesting question to ask other people
Monday greetings from NorCal. It's 44F and dark. Going in for more saffron/cardamom green tea.
Have a lovely day!
Not even a week after buying a new printer, Amazon thinks I would like to buy another one. Would it REALLY be that hard to not recommend recent purchases?
I have my new shredder and my new printer! The new printer is my first ever non-HP printer, but I don't want to do business with a company that deliberately borks my $$$ device.
Greetings from NorCal. It is 49F and raining. And dark. I have delicious coffee. Wishing everyone a fantastic day.
The tree service is here and it is both mesmerizing and terrifying to watch the guy in the cherry picker and the one standing in another tree easily 20 feet up. I don't care if they have those shoe picks and harnesses, it looks dangerous. There is also a LOT of physics going on about what to tie where and where to cut . . .

It's going to be a long drive for help delivering a baby.
North #Idaho Bonner General Health hospital will stop offering pregnancy care due, in part, to laws criminalizing abortion care that are causing physicians to leave the state. Shame on Brad Little, governor for allowing Idaho's Freedom Foundation to run his state.
I decided to move my car now as opposed to leaving for shopping early. Pretty good thinking for this early! I have coffee No. 2.
Morning greetings from NorCal. it is dark and 40F. I have coffee. The dangerous driveway trees are coming down today so I have to get into town before I'm blocked from access.

Poverty is measured at different income levels, but it is experienced as an exhausting piling on of problems. Poverty is chronic pain, on top of tooth rot, on top of debt collector harassment, on top of the nauseating fear of eviction. It is the suffocation of your talents and your dreams. It is death come early and often. Far from a line, poverty is a tight knot of humiliations and agonies, and its persistence in American life should shame us.

Greetings! Here in NorCal it is dark and 38F. I am about to refill my mug of Lapsang Souchong tea.
Have a great day!

The rate of maternal deaths in 2021 hit its highest level in 56 years, spiking 40% from 2020. For years, the US has been the most dangerous place to give birth among high-income countries.

AND THIS IS BEFORE ALL THE RECENT BANS ON ABORTIONS
Greetings from NorCal. It is 37F and dark. Today I made saffron tea: a green tea brewed with saffron and cardamom. It's delicious.
Have a fantastic time whenever you are!
We have two more driveway trees that have to come down, both are in a dangerous state from the wind storm. One is cracked 25 feet up and the other ripped up part of the driveway and will probably fall.

Today is #NationalPearsHeleneDay
I have not had this before. But I’d try it.
Poached pear, chocolate sauce, and vanilla ice cream.
I hope you have a great day ✌️💙😎
