it would have been after. i am going down this morning to see
what she is doing. Maybe one of these days i will get another
real camera. I just spent forever trying to tweak the phone
pic so i can show you, more closely, her “gifts”, her
mysterious gifts. OR, i will draw them. Maybe that’s one of her
gifts…encouraging the close time it takes to draw her….LikeLike

Found this tidbit at Wiki…”it flowers from April through early November. Its fruits are achenes which were historically used as food by Native Americans, including the Pomo and Miwok, who baked them or ground them into flour.” Looking forward to the drawing.
