Rachel stopped by for a quick visit on her way from the Sacto airport to Truckee, yesterday afternoon. So we hung out a bit at the second Nevada City street festival. 
Got some munchies, looked at art, bought some cheese, ogled at old cars, listened to music. It was fun. Here are some pics. Rachel was planning to pick up a friend at the Reno airport around 11, which became 1am, then later. Have no idea when her friend actually arrived, last night, but it was all due to Dolly wreaking havoc in Texas...
Also, just one more photo of a long-neglected (like, in the snow) plant gift that decided to make another appearance of its own accord. I had no idea what would pop out--a beautiful yellow calla lily! On the other side of horticultural irony, the eighty little seedling I've been coddling along for three months, are almost all kaput (sigh). Eighty potential herbs, heirloom tomatoes, beans, cukes, watermelons, etc.
One little pathetic bean seedling even produced a measly little bean from its little peat pot prison. So valiant! The irrigational system in the garden is really just about done, but so many other things have been, well, taking up time, and, oh well...I'll get some more planted soon. But, hey, the berries are going pretty well! Seriously! I mean it!
