What Kind of Spring IS This Anyway

I spent the weekend in the Bay Area visiting my folks, enjoyable time had by all of course.  I came home with a truck full of goodies, most notable among those were some of Mom's amazing chocolate chip cookies.  Dino, whose alternate nickname is Cookie Monster, was pleased.

I made a road side stop on my approach to the foothill area for this vista. 

We've had rain.  In fact, it hasn't been necessary for quite a few days now to do any handwatering of my precious little vegetable garden.  In spite of all of that, and some rather chilly days as well, I was happy with their growth rate as I did my morning inspection today.  Maybe we'll even have some decent tomatoes this year.
