I have been doing things!
I've been knitting a decent amount because it's "winter" now and my skin doesn't catch on fire when I touch yarn as it does in the summer. Winter is in quotes because this year California winter means 75 degree weather and no rain. I think it is the driest year in California in 300 years. Except it is raining right now, which hallelujah!
Scarf for a friend.
If I am knitting a Noro striped scarf, does that officially make me 75 years old? Or Jared Flood? I'll take either.
Jar cozy for the hipsteriest of friends.
Jar cozy #2, in a hard-to-see chevron pattern
The whole "winter" thing is no joke. It was warm enough to go hiking the past two weekends.
Lake Berryessa, looking mighty low.
Erik, looking mighty pissed (he wasn't)

Hiking selfies, cause duh.
And then I've been working. The past two weeks have been pretty enjoyable, as usually I go absolutely crazy being inside for this long, but I was assigned to take photos of seedlings in a greenhouse. It's close enough to being outside, and except for the one time when I almost passed out after underestimating how hot it gets in there, I enjoy the warmth and fake sunshine, much like these little dudes.
Baby Gilia capitata. They are just so gummy and adorable!!
Eschscholzia californica, having no problem establishing. Water and sunlight?! I'm ready to GROW!
Didja miss me? I missed you!
