The weekend was full of sunshine and warmth and good things. And yet. There was a teeny, tiny part of me that longed for fall, even in the midst of a beautiful weekend. Lucky for me, a beloved family member sent me a list of pancake recipes on Friday. And there, in the middle of…
Pictures + Pizza
Scott’s very first priority at our new house was to plant a veggie garden. I think he might have even started tilling before he found his clothes boxes. We were concerned that such a late planting (first week of August) might mean early frost and no produce. Fortunately for us, it’s been a warm…
