Thank you, Chef

You are using images of only 3 days ago…yesterday Ashville was not under water and aid is flowing quicker than in any mission I’ve ever seen….come and join and help instead of selling stories that are not accurate…

So - even if it's something small... take a few minutes and go make or do something tactile. Something that pleases you. The world needs that kind of creative energy, too 🧡 4/4

Unexpected day off at home after travel plans did not pan out (me) & hours maxed out (him). Remodeling the garage into a garage/studio split; it's behind schedule, so an extra day is a huge gift. Also, I love painting & nailing & problem solving because... results 1/x

[Backyard Industry @bckyrdndstry]

Not much makes any sense these days, but working alongside my spouse, transforming underused space into something new, learning how to do new and challenging stuff, pulling food out of the ground, etc - all that DOES make sense. 3/x

Something about sautéing, in somewhat decent butter, the garlic I grew out back, in a pot I've had for almost 20 years and I reckon I'll have until I'm gone... it's a relief. II have that going, I can make dinner out of whatever's here.

A collage of small snippets taken from my embroideries for your weekend. I hope it’s a pop of colour your timeline may need… 🧵🪡🌿🌺 #stitchedart #thesewingsongbird

Yes, and a pro tip: Lock that shit down unless you want the neighborhood rodents to party in yr kale salad #midwestfridge

[Midwest vs. The Rest @midwestern_ope]

Midwest culture is using the front porch as extra fridge space for food and drinks

I just feel like I am going to be extra festive this year. I can feel it in my bones. From one equinox all the way to the other, I’m going to be making merry and lighting hearths and spreading cheer. I just know.

[Backyard Industry @bckyrdndstry]

Tonight's dinner: Saved from a compost pile fate. Wrinkly poblanos stuffed with ricotta and spinach, topped with some pine nuts I found in the fridge and Parmesan, and oh yes the good parts cut out of the last of the garden tomatoes

Satisfaction near the end of a season: Multiple goldfinches feasting on coneflower seed heads just outside the window. I've been waiting all summer for this time!
