#chatterday2025
The plan is to go to the laundromat 🧺 this morning. We go super early (it‘s 5:30 am and we‘ll be packing the van 🚐 soon) so to avoid the crowds.
Later we might go swimming. 🏊♂️ Even later we‘ll definitely listen to the Dodgers game. ⚾️ Throughout I‘ll read a bit and I should work on my blanket (crochet). 🧶
Edited to add: Yikes, it‘s Saturday. Protest. We are going to the protest. 🪧
Bird watching at the river mouth. Took about a 30 minute hike through the dunes to get there. Definitely worth it for the beauty of the area. Now we‘re at our usual walking park/beach watching the swallows swoop and swirl, picking their lunch out of midair. :)

Halfway through this book for #MidsummerSolace and it's perfectly lovely. I'm really enjoying the easy pace, and each vignette is building a stronger picture of Grandmother and Sophia and their summer together full of simple pleasures. It's starting to veer toward melancholy but I actually love that; the mood is keeping me hooked. Who else is reading this one right now? #BooksAndBlooms
Some morning reading with my tea on this cool and overcast day. I can relate to the cold of May mentioned in this book. We don‘t see any warmth until mid-July here.

Sunny snuggles with the ginger one while sipping herbal tea and reading the tagged.
1) Í have almost never preordered a book. The one time I did I had a negative experience with the bookstore. So now I just wait. Of course, with ebooks it makes it so easy that I don‘t need to preorder. Just put the date into my calendar. ?
