We are all sweet today!

I married a super adventurous husband. He knows how to add excitement of super blooms, that of wild California daisies to ultimate driving to the coast.

Clouds were sitting on the mountains, with yellow daisies carpeting the ground, while on the left, verdant hills contrasted with yellow unopened daisies by the marker junction sign to Washburn or Highway 58. Daisies were plentiful along Soda Lake Road inside Carrizo Plain Monument, interspersed with wild mustard flowers. Soda Lake Road was rough, unpaved except for a few feet of smooth and paved. Perhaps a metaphor for the US today?

A simple lunch of taco beef satisfied us as we see the yellow daisies and an open landscape. I helped the taco owner of the truck by flipping the meat and tortillas, while she gave change to another customer, who apologized for not helping. I told her it is okay as “you were engrossed in sharing”, with the tractor driver. She gave a hefty tip of $22.

I declared, “we are all sweet today.”
