Not so far out in Death Valley that I can’t find a Martini. Sitting here watching the sunset. And the sandstorm I’ve been fighting since morning.

Here are my sweet little terriers. Unlike Kristi Noem, I’m giving them cookies instead of shooting them in the face. Because only monsters do the latter.

Truffles for the pasta dish.

Heirloom tomatoes and burrata.

A bumper crop of persimmons from my tree. This is a small fraction of my harvest. Persimmon Chutney today, Persimmon Jam tomorrow.

Wound through Salt River Canyon earlier.
