Opeekaboo Opossum
Look who decided to supervise my work in the bee yard today. I turned to grab my smoker and almost tripped over her. I think we made eye contact because she squinted a little. Opossums are nocturnal, so who knows what she was doing up at four in the afternoon.
The Grapefruit That Ate Los Angeles
I just scored a thirty pound bag of free, freshly picked, organic fruits, veggies, herbs and flowers from the Hillside Produce Co-op, a once a month event in my neighborhood where people get together and share their surplus backyard produce.
