I had a great day at our 34th annual #Pescadero Arts & Fun Festival, talking to folks about how to use solar + storage for energy resilience. Kids really enjoyed getting hands on with building circuits and measuring voltage of solar cells!

Personally, I think the #SFGiants started the downhill slide when they didn’t renew Renel’s contract.

I’d like to go to bed but doing so would require disturbing my cat.

I love Linda in all her genres, especially her Trio album with Emmylou Harris and Dolly Parton. But by far the most important gift is her biography Feels Like Home. She captured every essence and memory of growing up in the Sonoran desert. It’s priceless.

My state senator @joshbecker.bsky.social is hosting a moderated community discussion about the nation’s founding principles. Homework was to read the Declaration of Independence, the Gettysburg Address, and Federalist paper No. 10. #WethePeople

Several items on a table: a book of the Constitutions of California and the United States, a small notebook and pen with the seal of the state senate, and a folder of additional reading items

I bought this book last Monday and finished reading it just before the holiday weekend. It’s like having a lovely long conversation with a friend you haven’t seen in a few years. But at its core, it’s a book about grief. And it made me incredibly sad for what we had, and what we’ve lost.

Her arms are crossed in front of her and her smile is slightly mischievous. The book’s title is View from the East Wing.

I’m listening to Jimmy Buffett’s final album, Life on the Flip Side. It’s his final love letter to all of us #Parrotheads. I really miss him.

Morning beach cleanup at our soon-to-be newest #SanMateoCounty park at Tunitas Creek Beach. I got a shoe, a shovel, part of a bike tire, lots of bottle caps and coffee cup lids, and 3 unopened cans of BudLight. #KeepCaliforniaBeautiful

Hosted a community weaving yesterday at #Berkeley Farmers Market so folks could get hands-on with gorgeous Climate Beneficial yarns from Northern California @fibershed.bsky.social producers like @fullcirclewool.bsky.social and Integrity Alpacas. #sustainable #weaving #textilearts

Upright 7-stick loom with a tapestry woven from many types of spun yarn and roving in soft colors of natural light brown, yellow, green, and white. Handwritten messages are interspersed reading “love is the answer” “protect your neighbors” “May you thrive in love” and “I wish you peace”

A tall woman in a plaid shirt and hat stands next to another dark-haired woman. Both are facing an upright frame loom placed on a low table and their hands are close to the loom as the taller woman explains how to weave.

Out at #Berkeley Farmers Market again, this time talking about my favorite #flax fiber and efforts to re-establish textile manufacturing in California and across North America. #sustainable #regenerative #textiles #NALA

Two posters describing California Bast Fiber production, and Facts about how flax is beneficial for the earth. In front of the posters is a display of books on homegrown linen, the North American Linen Association status report, and bundles of linen struck, tow, and a wool/linen worsted weight yarn.

Today you are allowed to do nothing more than curl up with one or more #JaneAusten novels, write elegant and insightful letters, or go for long walks in the countryside. Today, we are all allowed to just be Jane. #JASNA (Photo from JASNA Greater New York, courtesy @devoney.bsky.social )
