My favorite farmers market stand
Cactuses!
I like seeing the kids get excited about them.
Each of these boys was allowed to pick out one plant.

No TV on weeknights
This is our new thing.
Which means we often sit at the table while we eat—I KNOW, right??—and peruse the newspaper or a book (me) or the New Yorker (Greg). Tonight I was reading this very interesting book, which I found at a secondhand store in Los Angeles.
There's a great part where John Lehmann basically says that Leonard Woolf was money-grubbing because he "grew up in an Anglo-Jewish household"!?
Way to go, John.

Neighborhood
Someone has a nice little shrine.
To . . . something.
Or perhaps they just enjoy stacking masonry.

Found
A penny! Literally both shiny and new.
I am one cent closer to filling that mason jar on the dresser.

New bag!
Only one problem: it's too small to hold street finds! And/or bike helmet.
Nice though, right (especially for $20)?
Aw yeah
Hammy's helping us get ready for the party!
Note regarding petting: "She only likes it on the head."

I picked up three things on the way home
One of them is not from the store.
Did you guess this one?
I found it in a garbage pile.
It's pretty much blowing my mind right now.

Have you ever seen anything cuter?
Than these two?For serious.
I came across Whitney's blog a while back and was totally smitten by her pictures of her life with Reed (husband) + Tayvee (child) + Zooey (cat). She and Reed visited New York last month and got in touch. For whatever reason I was super nervous to meet them (internet friends—what if they think I am a giant nerd in real life????) . . . but we had a great time. I want to go visit them in Boise!
Yes, BOISE!
YAY INTERNET!!
Fox and Fawn
At the vintage store in my neighborhood I found an amazing summer dress this weekend!
To wit:
Nice crispy cotton. It goes to just below my knees—long and white with a colored yoke and some stripes above the hem.
To wit:
Can you even call it brunch?
If there's no homemade Sno-ball at the end?
(Don't worry I ate that last piece.)
At the park
A lil squirrel took a peanut from my hand! He reached up with his little paws.
Can you see how he is smiling at me?

Baby plants!
Right-hand windowsill = special experimental nursery.
Featuring cuttings from someone's sidewalk garden in LA (illegally transported out of California in my carry-on):
A sprig lifted from a display plant outside a garden store in Brooklyn (soooo bad!):
From a potted plant in front of an apartment building in my neighborhood:
This one is a cutting from a plant I actually paid for:
These little dudes are also from LA:
And last but not least, these fellas, grown from a "piglet" surreptitously removed from a sow-and-piglets plant at an apartment sale:
I love them all so much!
Every morning I inspect them minutely from a distance of one centimeter, grinning with joy and cackling softly to myself.
