It’s very inconvenient that it’s 50° in Mass right now because it makes it much harder to use my garage as an extra fridge for all this food I’m cooking today.

Not a morning person, but these 5:30AM workouts are growing on me.

I have the Bonne Maman jam advent calendar and it is an utter delight, every morning.

Breaking news: I have a new best friend and his name is Darwin.

This past weekend I sailed a boat for the very first time and I am *obsessed*.

(I did not do the lines, I manned the wheel or whatever you call it, but I’m signing up for real lessons ASAP.)

There’s already water in my basement and the gutters and the drain in the front yard simply cannot keep up with the volume of water.

Gonna float away.

My husband is going to be physically incapable of going to the store without buying puppy presents for the foreseeable future.

This little rescue pup will be joining our family sometime in the next week.

Meet Darwin.

I did a grapefruit margarita and a cheeseburger. Seemed fitting.

Last night. 🔥

Did I light the grill basket on fire while cooking dinner tonight?

Maybe.

Was dinner delicious anyway?

It was indeed.
