I just ate four peaches in a row. Thought I would share, lest you ever have cause to question my rabidly devoted stance on stone fruit. This weekend I also witnessed the most perfect sunset I’ve ever seen in my life while lying in the warm grass, and saw a bag of water dangling from [...]
Yesterday narrowly escaped being a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day – about seven times.
