Ruffles have ridges.

So does the sky.

Morning rays - lovely.

It was 100F yesterday. Today a “cold” front is coming through and it will be nearly 20 degrees cooler.

The summer has been cooler than normal so our Thai chili peppers are coming late in the season. But they’re producing in quantity now with lots more to come. We’re grateful because we use these a lot!🌶

Cool looking clouds this morning. I believe they’re mammatus.

Lotta hot air in the neighborhood this morning.

Exercising at dawn

It arrived and it is a beauty! @burk

The start of something good: my wife is making my mom’s recipe for oatmeal raisin cookies. They’re the family favorite! 🍪

I got a cappuccino from a new indie coffee shop today. They use beans I’ve not had before - from a Houston roaster called Luce. They also serve boba and gelato. Here’s hoping they do well in spite of Covid. ☕️

N.B. all cappuccinos are too small 😁

Hi!

I love finding those on the exercise trail. Makes the day just a bit brighter. 🏃‍♂️

Lovely big sky this morning while running an errand.

Our first Bunraku 10 years ago today. Now I’m thirsty!🍶

Serene flower.

But there are 2 lawn crews nearby totally spoiling the vibe.

The new M1 MacBook Air came with a new stickler load: a set of Ted Lasso as well as silver/space gray toned Apple logo stickers (they used to be white).

Lovely sky this morning

Today’s samplers 🍷

Starting the morning on the back patio listening to a gentle rain. The plants are singing. 🌺 🌶 🍅

…and so it continued.

Missing is the vinegared jack mackerel, something we’d never had before. It was outstanding! And no it has no vinegar taste.

And so it begins

A local Dunkin Donuts remodeled and is quite modern now in decor and with wireless charging built into some tables

This is the first year we planted carrots in the garden. We don’t have the best soil for them. My wife was excited to pull one early to see how they were doing. Looking good so far! Needs another month or so to mature though. 🥕

Bloomin’ and bloomin’

Coming soon 🌺
