Happy day! We headed down to the beach, along with all the other people in our town. We were all spread apart, and without the vacationers from other regions, there was room for all of us!

Today was our first meal out since quarantine! We were SO psyched to get out and have a seafood lunch at our local favorite restaurant this afternoon. What a wonderful boost. And tomorrow, our beach opens for swimming and relaxing! Life is getting better and better.

STOP!....
Hammock-Time.

Yes, this is my dorky joke for the day. And the best part of my day, so far.

Here are some pictures of our garden. The roses are a fun show, and there have been enough for me to bring some inside!

I admire people with neat, planned gardens. But that’s not really how I operate. I like to see where things want to grow, and it can get a little random and wild (there’s a tomato plant intermingled with those roses, for example). My main goal with my limited space has been to have all the fresh herbs and greens I need, as well as plenty of flowers to enjoy on the plants and to also cut and bring inside.

We have all of the mint we could ever want, basil will be off the charts soon, creeping oregano is more prolific than we could possibly use, and we usually have tons of parsley all over the place. This is the first year that cilantro has done really well, and arugula already went to seed and is sprouting again. Trying to keep some dill seedlings safe from all of the snails and pill bugs has been impossible in the past, but I am feeling optimistic.

I also have a lot of onions and garlic growing because they are so easy and fun.

It brings me so much joy to take care of my plants, and I am so thankful for this garden!

After a week or so of lots of rain and storms, it’s back to summer mode and I could not be more thrilled!

This is where we love to spend time, relaxing and looking at the garden. (Pictures of that next!)

Two quarantine milestones today— Amelia and her favorite friend got to see each other (with masks and/or distancing), and Jeff and I rode in the car together for the first time in months!

Slowly, slowly, we are on our way back to our new normal.
