May 24, 2015. On our own!

LOCATION:  Floodgate Farm in Redwood Valley, CA

WEATHER:  Very nice. Highs in upper 60s

We did odd jobs around the farm while the homeowners got ready for their trip.  

As in all of California, there is a water shortage here.  We really try to conserve.  We pour the leftover dish water into rain barrels.  

This is the end of fava bean season.  I am shelling these beans, as I  want to try some more fava recipes.

We drove the homeowners to an airport shuttle in Santa Rosa, about one hour away.  They fly from San Francisco to Boston on the red-eye tonight.

On our way home, we stopped in a cute town for dinner at this pub.  It used to be a brewery.  It had many good California craft beers on tap.
