Listening:
This week is brought to you by brevity.
"Gladly" by Tirzah.
"Velvet Ring" by Big Thief.
I discovered NPR's Field Recordings and it's a worthy rabbit hole to fall into.
"Take A Sunset Cruise With Mac DeMarco"
Reading:
IN PRAISE OF AN AFTERNOON AT THE MOVIES
WHOLE30 CHANGED MY ENTIRE RELATIONSHIP WITH FOOD BECAUSE I’M DEAD NOW
If you ever need a laugh and love snacks, these Trader Joe's write-ups are gold: Trader Joe’s New Not-Flamin’-Hot-Cheetos Are the Devil’s Work
I love a food pattern. Coffee Toffee Shortbread Cookies (photo via bonappetit)
Craving:
More granola. Mixed nut butter. Mushrooms. And all the fruit.
Also, how about these high carbohydrate lamps.
Summer always reminds me of this William Carlos Williams poem.
Wearing:
I'm leaning back into one of my old standards: dressing very Florida retiree. Big button-up short sleeved shirts with some sort of flora. Shorts. Comfortable sandals or old Keds. When I'm not going out in public it's a lot of tank tops and elastic waist pants. Summer comfort.
ADAMJK provides a worthy reminder.
Watching:
Tears running down my face by way of new episodes of Queer Eye.
Next weekend The Great British Bake Off is back and I am delighted for more bakes, sweetness, and accents.
Treasuring:
Rest: This past weekend included delightful lounging. Long bus rides. Afternoon naps. Lying on the floor with cats. Stopping to admire flowers. Floating around in a pool. Taking strolls with family and sharing bites of a single caramel. Eating wedges of cookies and handfuls of berries. Lazing in bed to read and write and edit and write. Just the thing to recharge for more adventures.
Plus a mom-made berry galette.
