Hill Hike Then Steak on the Grill

·San Marcos, California·#spring#San Diego#home#daily-life
A panoramic view from a grassy hilltop overlooking a residential area, hills, and distant ocean under a blue, cloudy sky.

Went up the hill this morning while the marine layer was already burned off. The grass at the top has gone fully gold now, with the mustard still yellow through it, and from the ridge you could see all the way past the lagoon to the water. The trail down through the canyon is more overgrown than last time — the fennel is taller than I am in spots and I was pushing through it for a stretch.

The jacarandas in the neighborhood are blooming. Stopped under one on the way back and just stood there a minute.

Evening was steak on the grill. Got the burners good and hot and stayed out there with it until it was done, then ate outside with the garden lights on. The Buddha under the ficus is getting swallowed by the ferns again.
