The day late edition

1. A rhubarb peach strawberry pie from scratch that got a thumbs up from the critics ❤️ from my mom‘s rhubarb patch
2. First in line for the hold for the newest Wally Lamb book - already a gut punch in the first pages.
3. The racing sausages
4. Leo‘s smiles
5. Seeing former co-workers in tough circumstances, good to see people show up.❤️❤️

Thank you @Kshakal - any other late birds?! Join along!

Let us hope that Sat. is just one day, just one day of uncertainty and worry. Hopefully there'll be no real attempt at kingship.

1. Potted up my tomatoes/ finally got some strong vinegar to try and tackle the thistle overgrowth in my back garden.
2. Rebel skies is turning out really good which likely means I will like my review copy that is a sequel.
3. Starting to make some progress in my grandma's apartment.
4. Saw a black cat with white face, and it's Friday the 13th (lucky)
5. I discovered a new crafting resource for vintage patterns.

1) Working on my #SummerSwapCards. Decided to make cards so they may be a bit late.
2) Amanda brought Pippin new toys, the manta ray is his favorite. We have a blast playing.
3) Cards are arriving. So appreciate the joy they bring.
4) Prepared for #NoKingsProtest tomorrow, sign and shirt. The graphic is from #BadAssQuilter and used with permission. Be safe out there. 💙✊🏼💙
5) Caved and joined @AardvarkBookClub and got my 1st box

I just got home yesterday from a two week trip to Alaska, so my joys for these weeks are all about that.

💛 So much beautiful scenery!
💛 The experience of flying in small planes to & from the village and watching seaplanes land on the water
💛 Seeing wildlife, especially moose
💛 Hiking out onto a glacier
💛 Delicious food, including fresh fish
