the ride of the mad march hairs

from Raleighdon:


I found the second cookie, which I had placed very carefully in the cooler for safekeeping, on my way home on Monday. I had intended to give it to Deena, but wasn't sure when I'd see her again, so figured I might as well eat it with the bad cup of coffee I got in Yreka. It was either that or a donut.

Well, all the cookies are now accounted for.

No worries on the plastic container BG. It's one of those buy 3 for 5 bucks from the grocery store containers. They are good for giving baked goods away in. That was one of my leftover containers from my Christmas cookie gift giving.

Ok, some silly photos for you guys.

The pictures are great. I really like the one of Mt. Diablo.

Sounds like you all had a fun time. Pics are great.

I left TWO cookies in a baggie with RD, one for each of you. I also left one cookie in the plastic container in the back of RD's truck. So that's three cookies to account for. Mimi got one. Where did the other two go?

I was about to wax rhapsodically grateful about the incredible thoughtfulness of Veronica in actually setting aside a couple of her cookies for us. I mean, how kind can you get? Until I saw....the below statement. GRATUITOUS torture.

Bummer! I thought it was a particularly good batch too, made fresh, Thursday morning.

And THEN. I saw these two posts below. WELL I MEAN REALLY.

I took the container home so I could get it back to you. Inside, I found 1 cookie (guess what happened to that one ). They were fabulous. I say that genuinely as I also make cookies too. Thanks V for your thoughtfulness. You are the best (in many ways).

The other two probably got scarfed down by one of those MMH guys!

Maybe next year we can have more folks come to the Berryessa ride. It is one of my favs especially since it is almost out my back door.

THERE'S JUST NO HONOR. NO MORALS ANYWHERE.

Next time, I'll bring a little lockbox with our names on it. Humph.

Thanks, V.

Hey, you NorCal folks, I have a question. There's a flowering tree that has the most gorgeous blossom color, a sort of purpley-pink. I'll dig up a pic in a little while and post it here. I would love to know what it is. It was everywhere and really beautiful.

New Zealand Tea Tree maybe. It looks beautiful when it's flowering - not so much when it's not. At least they didn't look great in our yard.
