Just spent a truly delightful weekend being visited by Ms. Avocado. Among other things, we went to a goat dairy farm in Half Moon Bay and pet baby goats!! (I know the scale is hard to get from the photos; the bottom of the second board in the fence is the same height as a bench we sat on. Or, as I completely unhelpfully explained to HAMTACO, "the babies were kinda dog sized.") Then we took goat cheese and crackers to the beach to watch the waves as we ate (among other discoveries, cranberry hazelnut crackers turn out to be delish).
Other good things: I picked Meyer lemons from my lemon tree to make whiskey sours, and we sipped and talked for hours. Ms. Avocado and I got some kitty snuggles in (though we weren't with the kitties very long this time, and Bennet decided she'd rather just hide under my cedar chest the whole time, though she has bonded with Ms. A in the past). And HAMTACO (my local polycule, for new readers -- House Around Mrs. Toasty And Co.) invited us over for dinner and made us frozen margaritas and smoked tri-tip and more hours of lovely conversation and laughter.
I'm in a much better mood than most Monday mornings. 🥰🥑🍞
