Happy Valentines

A celebration of love is always wonderful. It's so much better than many other things. Certainly better than hate.

Today was the farmer's market. Then, on the way home, I stopped by a local bakery for a poppyseed walnut babka to take to my oldest valentine. Then a few chores and snuck in a walk before making our way over to the East Bay. There was a lot of traffic on the day of hearts.

Link to the new cool architecture and some good news around local conservation in Santa Cruz!

Stay hungry for truth and beauty. ❤️,
