Summer is crazy. The days are longer, but somehow they go by so much faster than the rest of the year. The shop is going great, and I am infinitely grateful for every single person who wanders in. Here's a glimpse of what's been going on when I'm not at gathered, or doing something for gathered from various remote locations...
I took a much-needed road trip down to Georgia to visit family. First stopped in Athens to visit my sister. We went thrift hunting.
We ate. A lot.
Then we caravanned down to Savannah to spend a few days with our folks. Where we made and ate food. A lot.
At a frozen yogurt joint. In case you can't read the flavors they're recommending you Mix, it's Strawberry Lemonade Sorbet with Coffee Yogurt.
My dad and I tried for a long time to try to i.d. this beautiful moth. It was about the size of my hand and looked as cuddly as a teddy bear. Look at that punham!
Neighborhood pool. Note to self: playing Name That Tune underwater is still pure hilarity.
Best friends in Savannah! And patriots? Red = me, White = Orea, Blue = Christy. Unplanned.
Back on the mountain, Drew and I harvested a pound and a half of wild wineberries in about an hour.
Good friends Brenda & Carson had us over for a garden dinner. Look at those cuties!
Surprise visit from Savannah friend, Kirsten at my shop! So good to catch each other up on our lives since our Terra Cotta days 6+ years ago.
Had the entire band of Circle Takes The Square stay with us for another week right before leaving for European Tour numero dos. Mostly work...
... and some play. This was right after we all jumped into a freezing cold waterfall-fed swimming hole.
Drew's band is still in Europe, getting back August 10. It's hard having him gone, but I get to pretend I'm there by looking on YouTube to see which thoughtful audience member has recorded their set. Here's a good one from their first show in the Netherlands:
And last but not least, I got a Subaru! Hopefully no more worrying about winter drives up our mountain! Hooray! Although it's hard to think about winter right now...
Whew! And this was just July.
