1. Took the fam to the Pulgas Temple via the Sheep Camp Trail, saw flowers, saw water, saw lizard, saw deer, saw snek, not bad for a 'burbs hike!

    the first time I came out here in '17 we took a more boring route and saw none of these things save the water, go figure.

    Please don’t suggest DIY approaches, I don’t have that kind of time or space.

    an image from poketo’s website advertising poster size monthly calendars which arrive in a roll indicating the month and days of the week but not number of days in white helvetica (or something like it) on solid, pale, color paper, which the buyer can then fill in themselves. Each month is a different color of the rainbow as pictured. I’ve also used similar designs from them with abstract patterns. A hand is writing in marker on something on the first monday of January, which is on pink paper. The rest of the months are visible rolled up to the right with the large month number showing on paper in salmon, red, orange, tan, yellow, pale green, green, blue, light blue, violet, and purple.
