So that’s what those double diamonds on the trail map mean! I had never seen this before today. In the midst of a mildly grueling (my choice, there are miles of mellower bike/hike trails as well) I discovered the Yer Mom trail today. Shout out to the parks people who maintain these awesome trails!

A solid week of hot and sunny inspires trips to the ocean for a swim. Grassy Point Community Park has a beautiful beach.
Lovely! Mother deer and two spring 2014 fawns out chomping in the backyard. Of course the downside is you have to fence anything you don’t want eaten! Chased a deer off the deck after our Nasturtiums the other day.
