Whew it’s been a hot minute since I’ve posted. Took a trip to Brookfield Zoo a several weeks ago and saw some beautiful hibiscus flowers in bloom.

A millennial breakfast to start my day.
A cup of coffee with oatmilk on a napkin next to a plate of homemade sourdough toast. One slice topped with avocado and pepper and the other topped with cream cheese. A millennial breakfast indeed.

Current audiobook listen is A Tropical Rebel gets the Duke by Adriana Herrera. I waited to start this one until I was able to reread the first two in the trilogy. I think this one might be my favorite of the three. #booksky #romancelandia 💙📚

I miss summer evenings. Winter feels like it takes years to be over.
Hazy blue sky with a setting sun. Field of wildflowers.
