Madagascar Palm update #2

Flower #3 bloomed in the elevated heat, with flower #4 coming up from behind.

wind and waves

I rode my bike down to the beach to confirm that there were wind and waves - more than usual.

marigolds?

Seeing these on a stroll, I suspect they are marigolds and that the ones I'm growing at home are also marigolds, although they're not flowering. The green part looks the same though.

Elvis banana toast

It was very Elvis of him, but Mr. had too many bananas ripening too fast in a heat wave. So here they are on toast with almond butter. It seemed to work, but as I recall a bit later all the water and energy was sucked out of him.

Noe's other cafe

Upon leaving Noe's I saw this sign and learned that they have another location in Santa Barbara near the famous courthouse. I knew there was a cafe there but I had certainly not connected these two until now!
