Rhody is kicking after a few days of heat.

Storm clouds catching the sunset

Wind was chilly for the morning dip today so hats were necessary! No pool heater. Water temp about 53

8 hours of patience - and clothes that need to be boiled to get the smoke out of them.

A fund called Ethical Capital Partners bought Pornhub. The investment world is so full of creative types.

Watching the robins working and tossing soil with their beaks in my garden and all I can think is that the regenerative ag folks who frown on even the slightest tining would not be pleased.

Thanks Grandpa Giuseppe Culotta for the early life lessons. Still got it!!! #Sausizza

GOP: it’s not guns it’s mental health! - ok, so we agree that’s a big issue; let’s allocate more funding for public mental health, from prevention to treatment. GOP: This is America. We don’t do socialism!

Listening to a great discussion on infant formula crisis and the failure of our federal agencies to address concentration and vulnerabilities in such an important sector. Two of my journalist heroes Helena Bottemiller Evich and Leah Douglas at Organic Trade Policy Conference.

We ordered 5.5 yards of compost. What I didn’t realize is that’s about 14,000lbs that I have to wheel from driveway to stone steps and down into backyard (and wheelbarrow back up). I’m going to be totally ripped by Monday.

Maple syrup, half-n-half, espresso frappe is my new summertime fuel.

Last night Edgar ate 6 of my homemade Italian sausage that were thawing out. I couldn’t even be made at her as I’m the idiot that left them where she could get them. But I am fat shaming her all day.

Can’t believe after dozens of years raising hens this is my first time making a frittata. Sausage, orange bell, spinach, two cheese & garden herbs. Double flipped and all. Form got a little whacked on 2nd flip but the texture was perfect.

Year 3 of Ozark Sundrop. It’s actually a great ground cover, which I wasn’t expecting. The bloom is so bright it’s tough to get a good photo.

This morning let’s go from full sun to the shade & celebrate the humble yet proud valerian, aka the garden heliotrope (to turn to the sun).

This mornings blooms - clematis - one of my favorite climbers.

I set out to lower my blood pressure, which ten years ago was regularly 140-50/80-90 range. I’m now 120/60-70. Running. Diet. And quitting a stressful job. And maybe Edgar.

Went for a good run this morning so fairly certain adding homemade ice cream to my overnight oats is a positive move.

We e made it into the $ in WSOP SR event
