Irises and yellow flowers blooming in the front yard. The irises are from Bob that he gave me about 15 years ago when Eric and Ryan were in Berkeley. We had dinner at his place. Despite his yard being very small, he was filled with flowers and all sort of exotic plants.
The yellow flowers are self-seeded and they are spreading like wildflowers.
Matthew called to wish me a Happy Mother's Day. First time he has ever done that. Growing up I believe. We talked about various things such as how long he will be at his job at Apeel Sciences. He explained they had redo the whole organization and he's a bit lost as to what his duties are to be. We talked about him moving up here; his friend, Hudson and his girlfriend are living in a condo. I asked if he had been communicating with Ryan; he is and that Ryan is doing well.
Then Matthew talked with Alan for awhile. They talked about alternative shoe wear and diet. Matthew had tried the Keto diet and was on for two weeks. Matthew said he may take a year off since he had saved enough money.
