More signs of spring

We already posted springtime photos taken in and around 223 Bonnie Way in Glen Ellen, California, the place where we moved in January of this year.

Now that the rain is tapering off, we’ve been out and about running, walking, and taking more pictures of the wonderful wildflowers (“domestic” survivors, too!) that have rushed into bloom. Many of them are on the property where we live, which backs up to a beautiful little seasonal creek (“Justi Creek”).

As we walk around the property we continue to discover more modern-day artifacts, which had gotten lost or were ignored in the aftermath of the “Nuns Fire” that destroyed the buildings and much of the vegetation in the neighborhood in October 2017.

Here are more of our recent pictures in both categories.
