June and July wrap up

Highlights

Pickleball Saturday mornings with my sister at Ocean State Pickleball.

7am runouts with TC in what feels like our own private meadow, the Preserve.

Many fun adventures exploring Watch Hill, Stonington, Mystic, and Westerly

Blueberry picking early Sunday mornings with the most abundant bushes I’ve ever seen, where hundreds of bushes are positively heaving under the weight of ripe berries.

Blue Shutters post work sunset swims.

One beautiful olive egg per day from our 18-20 week old pullet hens, such good girls!

Increasing ripeness of our 8 sun gold tomato plants that smell incredible.

More hummingbirds than we can count, like a swarm of Jedi fighters.

Bumblebees on lavender.

The happy sound of goldfinches daily.

Quonnie pond oysters.

Quick high tide dips at Dad’s beach.

Lobster salad and Cotswolds cheddar from Sandy’s.

Hamptons coming up in August, girls weekend!

Multiple days where the temperature was perfect windows open no AC, the best breezes wafting through the house day and night, so great!

Lowlights

Endless weeds on gravel paths and driveway
