#ChristmasTreeLane countdown and tree lighting last night in Altadena, California.
After a year that’s been so so hard, the return to a beloved small town tradition felt so good. Felt so normal – we do this every year! And was resonant with so much deeper meaning, too.

The #ChristmasTreeLane lighting ceremony is tomorrow night in Altadena. I wouldn’t miss it for anything and I’m already weepy.
Here’s last year’s countdown and lights on. 🎄🎄
It was Dec 7, exactly one month before Eaton Fire ignited.
(I also have fotos of windy lane Jan 7, one hour before flames)

🌱communal garden work today. Mostly maintenance, laying down cardboard and straw for weed suppression. There was a little bit of harvest for the volunteers working in the garden–
Some lettuce, chard, lacinado kale, a few sugar snap peas and some purple sweet potatoes.
