"Pollinators like these?" ask Josie and Winnie.

A special tree this #ThickTrunkTuesday. This recumbent giant is a very old Valley #WhiteOak, #QuercusLobata, on a hillside in Northern Marin County, CA. One of its major limbs is lying on the ground, but surviving just fine.

"Good walk!" say Winnie and Josie.

I made a cake for Memorial Day. It's a moody blues cake.

Three collages; six each of the best this week for peonies, irises, and roses. As Monty Don said, "When I die, I shall go to May."

The Mason Bee (Blue Orchard Bee) House is fully occupied. They were extremely active building nests until a few days ago. Now they mature, and we'll see how many emerge next spring.

Have you voted, or will you vote in your local elections and primaries? Vote in every election. That is how you keep a democracy.

Speak at a public meeting. Serve on a local board or commission. Be a precinct leader for your preferred party or candidate.

Study your city, county, and state budgets. Government (and the people) speak through their spending plan. Speak up on budget matters.

Run for something.

I think it was Cal Poly - Humboldt, not Humboldt State. Though things are changing day to day.

@Waitnwallflower
We've planted about 120 herbaceous, 10 intersectional (Itoh hybrids), and about 40 tree peonies. They thrive in many zones except warm ones. They need winter chill to survive. We're in zone 8b, #PNW. Ants can be washed off, though we have very few. Tree peonies are opening here, but no herbaceous peonies yet.

For #ThickTrunkTuesday, a stately old #QuercusGarryana in a grove located in a city park.
Also known as #OregonWhiteOak, or "Garry white oak", it was an important part of the oak and camassia savannas maintained by fire by indigenous people of Oregon. https://greenbeltlandtrust.org/category/tag/oregon-white-oak/
