Another first time smoke drying on a paper towel: half-bowl of Margate, for my Savinelli Miele 611 KS bent dublin. Hope I can get this in before the wind kicks up...fingers crossed! Bird report: Common raven, Red-tailed hawk (the former aerially harassing the latter; it's a hell of a thing to watch!), White-crowned sparrow, House finch, California towhee, California scrub-jay, Steller's jay, Band-tailed pigeon, and Dark-eyed junco. Poppies are starting to spring up on the hillsides here, which is not only a visual delight, but also puts a damper on the media's never-ending drought propaganda.
Happy smokes everyone! ?
