Happy Friday 8/20/21
Happy Friday! How are you? Any exciting weekend plans? We’re heading home from a week-long vacation in Oregon today. We shared a house near Bend with my sister’s family and swam and played and made boxed brownies and soaked. up. summer!

I’m relatively new to gardening (just 3 years in!) and it still brings me so much joy to say this…I grew these! I planted these dahlias, brown eyed girls, cosmos, zinnias, bupleureum, and Chinese-forget-me-nots in our garden and then watered them and weeded them and gave them compost and a little love…and they loved me right back! 😊 Gardening sure can be rewarding!
Here are some fun links from the week…

While updating a Connecticut home Eva Chen, a born and bred New Yorker, found out she’s a country girl after all. On the change: “Losing structure has been the greatest gift…I never thought I’d be that person in gardening clogs.” (archdigest)
Love these pink walls! (@marynelsonsinclair)
How to wash a comforter so it feels like a cloud afterwards. With the cooler temps at night, we’ll be pulling out our down comforter any day now and I’m taking notes! (domino)

Picked up this book for vacation this week and didn’t even crack it 😆 Can’t wait to read it when we’re back home! (amazon affiliate, indiebound)
Have a good one!
