Spring Greens Pie

Beet greens, spinach, feta, cottage cheese, za'atar all in a pie crust from the freezer.

It was a opportunity to clear a lot of stuff from the refrigerator.  And I'll cook some meatballs from the freezer, too.

Practice

I'm getting ready for a journey. I want to carry one camera and one lens, so I'll be practicing.

Tulips Standing In Repose

The view from Josephine Road

At the top of East Indio Hills Bandlands

We hiked the crazy slots and scrambles of the Badlands, then strolled through the wide wash, then marched up to the overlook where we sat down for "lunch". Alison whipped me on to beat the storm. It worked. 

Loved it all, but that last mile to exit was blah.

Wait...what...pink radicchio?

Yep. Radicchio. Saw it. Bought it. 

Haven't eaten it yet. 😕 

West Fork of San Gabriel River

We walked along the West Fork on a day that started colder than expected but warmed up by the time we got to the Glenn Campground. The light was terrific. 

Carole Scurlock's Flickr album is remarkable. https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjC27xg

On the Josephine Peak Road

The Meanderthals hiked to the summit of Josephine Peak (5538') today. 

Six inches of snow was reported up there a few days ago. We found patches on the cooler north side above Josephine Gap (about 5000') but the open summit was clear and dry.
