Yes, we know about the Cycle365 problem and are trying to resolve it. We thought we had resolved it when we installed a new security certificate last night, but it looks like there’s still a problem. Not good.

Some people hate vineyard country with it's orderly industrial rows, I reckon it gives you some great contrasts, patterns and colour. BTW something not quite right on the Cycle365 site as I can't log in and judging by the lack of comments I'd say I'm not the only one.

I'd frame that piece of metal and mount it on a wall. So, yes, it's ART!

I was just going to toss off that it was some kind of sedum, but you are absolutely right. I didn’t know a thing about this plant, so the linked article was really amazing and disheartening that people are poaching these unique plants. That they will almost certainly die when planted in unsuitable spots adds tragedy to outrage.

As usual, these yellow many-petal flowers gave me fits, but I'm going to say possibly seaside woolly sunflower.

They’re really wonderful animals. They come down from the mountains and hang out in large herds in the meadows in the winter. We see these up in the Coast Range in Oregon also.

And, she’s stuck with a pain for a roommate!

Incredible!
