It’s now the last week of August… but in the first week of August, we were in Green Bay! Still my favorite place on Earth, and my favorite week of the year.

Opted to only grow wildflowers this year after several less-than-successful years of growing vegetables… and ended up with a robust pumpkin plant growing alongside the wildflowers, which is what happens when you let a carved pumpkin disintegrate into the ground over winter. It’s technically a fruit and technically an accident but also! Technically a success.

One of my favorite annual traditions and best perks of living along the river: biking down to see the fireworks, and watching them go off all over the city.

You’re pretty magical, Harrisburg. (The rat who causally walked past us in the middle of the show totally agrees.)

Mini Vacation Part 2 // I wish I could give everyone a post(ish)-covid trip to the ocean. Many people have said many wise things about the healing power of the ocean, and I bet they’re all true. There’s something magical about the just-right mix of warm sunshine with cool salty breeze and waves loud enough to quiet the chattiest of thoughts.

Also, we saw dolphins!!!

Mini Vacation Part 1 // Half of these pictures are from a place called Savage Neck Dunes, which, along with being a rather unfortunate name, is a surefire way to unlock every Savage Garden song lurking in the dusty corners of your mind.

Every morning before work, Jenny and I play the ring toss game. It goes like this: there’s a ring attached to our guest room ceiling by a string, and the point of the game is to toss the ring onto a hook on the wall. Sometimes it takes 20 tries. Sometimes 120. But we made a pact that if either of us got it on the first toss, they get free takeout.

No one will be surprised to learn that Jenny was the first one-toss champion, and she selected Pad Thai from Bangkok Wok. She was also the second one-toss champion... and we decided on a sliding scale: dinner for your first win, lunch for your second, breakfast for your third. We had Jimmy John’s at City Island that day.

Yesterday, I finally conquered the toss and choose a dinner that is basically the entire reason for this post: the Brussels Sprout Caesar from @home231 with a side of fries. Harrisburg people: do not sleep on this meal! It is so good!

In other news, Jenny had yet another one-toss victory (!) this morning. I suspect doping. I also suspect that Ressler’s will be on the menu for breakfast tomorrow :)

Today held croissants and curried chicken salads and truffle fries and strawberries. And flowers! And new plants! And being loved so well by so many people. What a gift.
