I voted today & along the way I found a sign that someone stole & dumped in the creek. Little did they know that my journey home got a lot more attention on that busy road. I might just take it on my daily walks.

Early voting is underway for Prop 50 in California.

I urge anyone in the state to vote yes.

We have a native hybrid penstemon that does the same thing — blue to purple rose blooms depending on the bloom cycle. It’s a great #pollinator #plant needs little care & people will stop and ask you what that plant is. Best part is the name, definitely a party Margarita BOP Penstemon.
