It’s headed for about 80º today.  Here are just a few of the colorful flowers and plants to be found around the yard and out in the field.  The latter is really starting to look like a prairie grassland.  I’m glad to see all my California natives starting to germinate in the rock garden.  I was especially happy to catch this skink (lizard) basking in the empty pool.

I have to say I’m also glad to see that Dr. Richard Bright, the government scientist/whistleblower who was kicked out by trump for raising warnings about the virus and necessary response early on, is getting a fair hearing testifying before the House panel.  Of course many repubs are still in denial about the facts, but at least the truth is being told.
