Our library system announced that it will start curbside service next Monday. Yay!
My 11 year old daughter's absolutely delicious home made bagels. They brought a tear to this transplanted New Yorker's eye.

Fruits are in season and instead of paying $4/125g box of blueberries, they are now $1/box. I’m buying several boxes and freezing the fruit for smoothies. So refreshing when it’s 32C/92F and humid!
Our service berry bush/tree is heavily-laden with fruit, as is our mulberry tree. A few more days and we can start harvesting!

When you can't travel, look at forgotten pics from previous trips. This was found in a snap from a TV at a bar in Canada: I guess that I should... stay away from Oklahoma? :)
A good sharp kitchen knife.I am making dinner and chopping away, often with a dull knife. I have really good knives, and when they are sharp, dinner prep is SO MUCH easier.
Chasing my dog around the dog park while making kissy noises in a game of "If I catch you, I'll kiss you". I'm super dignified that way.

I'm super dignified that way.Yesterday, we played a variation of this game at home. I curled my hands into monster claws and pretend stomped around while yelling "IMA!! GONNA!! KISS!! YOUR!! TOEBEANS!!" while my dog danced around ecstatically, daring me to catch her. No toebeans were harmed in the playing of this game. (Or actually kissed, either). Also quite dignified, as I always am at home.
I love this community. Whether it's people sharing stories about their furry comic relief, or LindaNorway sharing details of her idyllic life hand-feeding squirrels or skiing to work, I feel like we understand and appreciate one another, and that makes me happy.

I have really good knives, and when they are sharp, dinner prep is SO MUCH easier. For me, sharpening the knives is a happy process in itself. Meditative, zen-like, and with a good result if you do it right. :)
It's persimmon season. I LOVE persimmons.
