Cesar Chavez Day here in CA - it's a state holiday, so it's one I get off work. The kids don't though, so they came home and said "Why are you home so early?" I pulled a few weeds while I was home, and then later, the Aquarium was having an Autism families night,where the aquarium was open late until 9:00. It was very quiet and relaxed, hardly anyone there, which I suppose was the point - although I also wonder if even the discounted price might have been a hardship for some people.

Earlier in the day, we'd been out in the front yard. Happy to see a few more irises from last year...

...and Avalon decided to pick me some freesias. Only she made the stem about an inch long so we had to find a short container to work as a vase...
