Looking For Something?

Kinda buzzy over at the Capital View Communal Garden, today! Took a postprandial today and enjoyed these bees, marigolds, okra (!), eggplant, cosmos flowers and also the butterflies I didn’t capture on photos! Thx, @wsconow and the other GROWS partners for using this space to help provide better access to healthy food!

A few more items and scenes we probably wouldn’t have seen, had we not sent the dogs off to Fun Camp with their pal, Yoshi: some wonderfully delicate, pearly Solomon’s Plume berries that I spied while walking (hobbling) toward Miner’s Falls; a chocolate treat from a UP convenience store; a life-saving tool used by a lighthouse crew at the Maritime Museum in Marquette; and a walk along the Marquette waterfront (this is the enormous, obsolete iron ore hopper) that included a stop for some tasty beers at the Vierling Brewey. Fun getaway!

Steve made a heck of a good fire, on our last evening of the camping trip. And so! These were some heckin’ good s’mores! September CEM is one for the books. #campeverymonth

Visited a couple wonderful, possibly even (G)reat, lakes today! Loved getting our toes into the warm, soft sand along Lake Michigan, and doing a few short hikes to see waterfalls and colorful formations along Lake Superior, at Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. #yooping #northwoods

Two dogs, two rivers, one U2 album cover shot, one state park on an overcast August day. We Sundayed well!

Had a great time on Thursday morning with my Medtronic coworkers, thinning beets, preparing soil and sowing some cilantro and arugula seeds. Thank you, Paloma and @urbanrootsmn for the opportunity to volunteer and learn about your programs that provide leadership, entrepreneurial, and life skills training to kids on Saint Paul’s East Side!

Someday Soon I’ll…

Visit Istanbul.
Learn Arabic.
Live closer to mountains.
Read Moby Dick, Little Women and Anna Karenina, The Secret Garden, The Invisible Man.
