On December 5, 1933, Prohibition ended in the United States. Happy #RepealDay with my makeshift Mezcal Manhattan. Cheers! (at Riverdale Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl0CJ2etqqTdAppLMQ9q_VDl4WeHE1ca-kJ0Sc0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

House next door is for sale; 18 days on the market, which is normally an eternity in my neighborhood. This fungal face appeared overnight in the tree at the driveway. Perhaps this will lure potential buyers to tomorrow’s Open House, and seal the deal for awesome new neighbors!?!? Hoping!

Relaxing in Marietta, Ohio’s East Muskingum Park before heading on the Harmar Historic Homes Walking Tour. So lovely here! And while they have the coolest swing benches overlooking the river, I so love my lime-green camp chair. Almost always with me! #StrongbackChair #MariettaOhio (at Marietta Riverfront Bike Trail) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChSnUKQur3FTtQFgZQgQO-eAw0tIaNpjHb4kVs0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Wistful for the delicious breakfasts at my bed & breakfast a couple of weeks ago; can still taste the memory! (at Schantz Haus B&B) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgZ826NuizFrdBt_Rl8h5Acv-RNPY5dnyzUVkw0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Even when I’m late to the party for a @leafcutterfarm nasturtium or microgreen order, photos from recent meals bring comfort. (at Riverdale Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdT1uy8Ows3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

So happy to have @leafcutterfarm microgreens brighten my funky kitchen with their awesomeness! A symphony of local products keeping the rhythm bright in dark global times. After a winter break, radish blend microgreens make the plates dance with @dcfishwife shrimp & housemade lox with dill&limes — all tripping the light fantastic along with @naturesyokeeggs via @the_creamery_at_union_market while@ravenhookbakehouse organic whole wheat sourdough via@rparkfm, offers a comfy bed for @caprikornfarms goat cheese via@smcdairy.

Such a great day for this museumhead at the National Geographic Museum's reopening in Washington, DC. With two new exhibits; free museum entrance this month; free parking on Sundays in the District; and a new museum air filtration system — the stars aligned!

Sitting in my car’s backseat while a Verizon Fios technician works on my service outage. So love my sunroof! Almost feel like I’m in a beautiful park instead of my funky driveway. (at Riverdale Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZutTHYpLko/?utm_medium=tumblr

Fresh from their morning shower under my kitchen faucet, and ready for lunch; likely the last of the season’s organic tomatoes from @dicotfarm accompanied by their resilient lunchbox peppers — still lovely and crisp after too many weeks in my funky fridge. Rinsed and nestled in my favorite ceramic colander created by @marciacochranpottery via @yspottery in Ohio.

Local plate with end-of-summer tomatoes from @dicotfarm with an Israeli couscous sweet corn salad via @thesoupergirldc — made extra special with @leafcutterfarm microgreens. Those radish blend microgreens were still crisp & tasty Monday, after a week in my funky fridge! Maybe they perked up knowing they would soon be replaced by a fresh microgreen delivery?!?

Was feeling a bit blue; a delivery of edible flowers and microgreens from @littlewildthingsfarm made all the difference! (at Riverdale Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLvGwF9hL-1/?igshid=14sx5fkgvyeu6

Heirloom tomatoes & fresh basil from The Farm at Sunnyside in Virginia; fresh mozzarella from the Greenbelt Co-op in Maryland, with organic olive oil and balsamic vinegar from Italy. End-of-the-world storm here has me grabbing my Xenia, Ohio, Devil Wind Brewing pint glass to hold a strong and hazy IPA from Hysteria Brewing Company, Columbia, Md. (where I was IN a tornado last May.) Memories with a meal. (at Riverdale Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CC90KfxBmdW/?igshid=1qqkkfe975yco

Beloved 17-year-old #CordlessElectricLawnMower gave up the ghost today, but not until I trimmed the front lawn forest enough to install this #ThankU sign. The #BlackAndDecker goddesses were kind. (at Riverdale Park, Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAOmqbJhGYO/?igshid=yn6z6ycshfdf

‪Powerful, riveting #ArenaStage production of #AThousandSplendidSuns is still on my mind & heart more than a week after its preview weekend. Outstanding performances!
