Breakfast of Hermiston watermelon, plums from a friend's tree, garden cucumbers, gift of fancy meats and cheeses. Summer is delicious.

Rick said, "I sent you a picture of a liverwort reproduction structure that I saw while waiting for the G Line". We looked it up. It's called a gametophyte, and it's very cool. #naturephotos #liverwort #photos #seattle

Through Finland in Carts, by Mrs. Alec-Tweedie, is a very fun book in the intrepid woman traveler tradition, published in 1897. This woman has a gusto for new experiences. #booksky #womenwriters #travelwriting #finland www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/27743
