I dropped in today to share random news: As I missed Epcot's F&G this year (our Beach Club reservations for early May were cancelled by Covid-19), I am excited to say that we have a rare tree growing on our property. Botanists from our local power company pulled up this morning and started scouting ... after cooing over our large stand of Matilija poppy, which are presently in full bloom, they geeked out over our Cypress. They took samples, studied them under a Loupe, verified facts through their classification databases and made an excited announcement: These are Cuyamaca Cypress!
Apparently there are only 4 known stands of these trees. In 2003, the last formal count, there were fewer than 40 trees known to exist. FWIW, I presently have 4 adults on my property and 6 juveniles. The botanist was delighted to see my 'nursery' and gave kind comments regarding the wide variety of native species growing on our property. Whee! It was, indeed, even more exhilarating than combining through the nuggets of wisdom at the F&G show.
Please forgive me for not participating with you this month. I do miss the lovely chatter and encouragement of the group.

6/6 - 6/7 zero due to Cristobal
Since I haven’t been going to gym during quarantine, I’ve discovered great cardio workouts on Team Body Project’s YouTube channel. Has anyone else ever tried these? The instructor leading these videos is by far the BEST I’ve ever seen. He is motivating and encouraging and makes me look forward to doing an exercise video, something that has never happened for me before!
