Off the hook today for the UCSF run (Daughter #2 did the honors) I took a dog for a walk after getting back home from my errands.

a treasure she found earlier in the week
Since there was no baby around – there was no candy involved either.
The above list is the route we wandered. Saroise was well behaved especially for her. But then, there was lots to sniff, a low traffic route and an absence of squirrels. Of note – on our street you see a variety of vehicles, a number of SUVs and more than the occasional pickup truck. In the hills above out house, it was much more upscale. Not only did one see a number of seriously large homes –

more like a European Estate
with renovation everywhere – but there were BMWs, Jags, Teslas, and the occasional high end Volvo. All of which made me glad that we are not located up these twisty little roads and have off street parking.
I went over to our Eldest’s for dinner which included a lovely backed

squash
the plant originally a gift from Alison.
