Self visited the Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens (North Highway One, Fort Bragg) about a week ago.
She followed the sign marked “Ocean.”

This week’s Daily Post Photo Challenge is PROLIFIC.
Self will interpret that to mean MANY.
Mary-Ellen Campbell’s home in Casper, California is bursting with collages, paintings, books — all of her own making.
She made this collage after one of her travels:

The current exhibit at the Mendocino Art Gallery features work by current artists-in-residence. If you put your nose close to one of these dispensers, the smell of each spice is heavenly.

Second Saturdays of the month, the galleries in Mendocino have wine and snacks, artists come in to talk to people who wander in from the street. It’s fun.
There aren’t any street lights near the Mendocino Art Center, but self remembered to take along a flashlight.
She stopped by the water tower to take a picture:
Water Tower, Ukiah Street, Mendocino
Galleries put little welcome balloons by the entrance:
Self went from gallery to gallery. She had sushi and crackers and cheese and a glass of Chardonnay.
She decided to walk back to the Center before it got dark because she wasn’t wearing a jacket and it was starting to get chilly.
A few other Awakenings:
Stay tuned, dear blog readers. Stay tuned.

Such a gorgeous day! Sun is shining, everything’s beautiful.
Went to the Palo Alto Farmers Market. Smiles everywhere. The dimsum at this market is just heavenly:
Sunday, 8 April 2018: Haven’t been to the Palo Alto Farmers Market in at least a year. It was a great day for it.
Bought a hanging basket of pink ivy geraniums from this vendor:

She hung the basket on the porch, soon as she got home.
