I have been looking forward to making this list ALL day! we are just back from a trip to Alaska:
1) Glaciers - apparently the blue of a glacier is best seen in August? 🤷🏻♀️
2) Baseball! ⚾️ went to a game yesterday and weather was perfect (home now but still on vacay)
3) Basil for pesto
4) Friend sent me poem book!
5) Another friend just texted that her knee surgery went well and another friend is recovering from donating ⬇️
Leave those dishes, I should have said. Come play with me in the forest, I should have said. The world will end tomorrow.

pickI really enjoyed this! I am unsure if the story would have had the same impact on me if I did not live in our MCs neighborhood. I feel like Pattee really made the city come alive. I could have used a bit more description of the aftermath, but I thought the characters were drawn well and the storytelling was great.
