Today, was day two of a heatwave. Yesterday it was 90° in San Francisco. Today it was down to 84°. It feels warmer. The house is warmer inside today than yesterday.

We got up early and went over to Piccino to see about getting tomatoes from Mariquita Farm. I was too late for any reservation of tomatoes so we went early to see what we could get without one.

Sucess was had in the form of beautiful boquet and a berry basket of little cherry size tomatoes known as Piennolo tomatoes and two lemons

We also got an amazing cappuccino at Piccino Coffee Bar. Then went on a pleasant walk over to there while it was cool-ish.

The bird of the day is the Whooping Crane

Here is a poem for you.
