My husband brought autumn-olive tart to work with him today and it was all gone before lunch. 🧁

One of the athletic clothing brands that I love is bringing back denim. No. I will not go back to denim bottoms.

A pint of autumn olives made one perfect little jar of puree. #foraging #wildedibles 🌱

I've finally gotten the hang of homemade tomato sauce. Slow-roast wedges of garden tomatoes, then food-process with herbs and peppers. Simmer with heavy cream. It was so delicious 😭🌱

I grew this perfect sugar pumpkin that is now for dinner. 🌱#gardening

Foraged for autumn olives last night! It’s early, so they’re tart, but I couldn’t wait. What should I bake with them?

When my dog is on antibiotics, I have a different dog emotionally and behaviorally. His psychiatrist believes his dysbiosis is causing his emotional disorders, but no one will prescribe me a continuous antibiotic, and fecal transplants are expensive with no guarantees.

Yoga has continued outdoors Wednesday nights 7-8; mostly in the dark, which is awesome. Brought my camping lanterns, bug-incense, and a bug-net for real festive asanas. #yoga #outdooryoga

You guys know that kindles are bad for your sleep, right?

When the climbing cave in the basement is about to double as a tornado shelter for me and the dogs.

Almost got taken out by an acorn.

I read a lot of books on #ClimateChange. There are many people doing great work. Most people seem at least somewhat aware that life on the planet is dying. Yet it's wild how no one's got time to deal with that.

The librarian did a little dance because I had my card ready.

Blue chicken eggs make me happy.

Given the proper environment, introverts tend to be better problem-solvers, more creative, and more empathetic than extroverts. Most are highly sensitive, a little neurotic, and immune to social pressures that don’t align with their values. #BookReview Quiet by Susan Cain

Headed to outdoor sunset lantern-lit yoga.

It's really funning when a tele-salesperson thinks that I, a millennial, would be willing to make a follow-up phone call.

Adopt your friends' healthy habits. When you see someone making healthier choices than you, don't be jealous, find ways to steal their technique.

Meal-planning is essential now that most of my recipes take three days of preparation.

Spent the day in the studio and the garden. Lots of laboring on this Labor Day.

I think my favorite part of any trip is the packing.

Taught my husband what a tulip tree is yesterday and now he’s pointing out every one. 🌷

Walking the golf course eating autumn olives.

Has anyone else noticed there are like no bugs anymore? #climatecollapse

I grew this squash. 🌱

Another day, another beautiful loaf of bread.

Do not touch the stem of a patty-pan squash. Ouch. 🌱

Enjoying my time barefoot while I can. Very soon it'll be slippers for 8 months.

Nothing says fall is coming like an LL Bean catalog that I didn't request.

Yesterday I dusted both porches and wiped down the siding by hand with a sponge so I that today I can sit out in the crisp breeze on my very clean porch.

A blog post with updates from the #garden as harvesting season continues: www.shaunart.net?p=82517 🌱

August is nearly over and the goldenrod are barely blooming. The tomatoes are late, and there have been almost no beetles this year. #Gardening 🌱

The humans cleaned the garage all day and now the dogs are exhausted.

What's the longest you've kept deli meat in the freezer for? Did you become ill from consuming? Asking for me. #FoodSafety

In-person group brainstorming doesn’t work. Studies have shown again and again that working alone (or online) produces more and higher quality ideas.

My best friend has covid, send good vibes. 😷

On a chilly rainy evening I love my tankless water heater.

That Bobs Burgers episode where Bob has insomnia has me debating staying up all night to choreograph and get ahead on sewing. The lesson is there’s no time for art during the day when you are working class.

Tomatogeddon is coming. We've won early battles with salsa and BLTs, but an unstoppable wave is on the vine. 🌱🍅

Modified a pattern to create this Printed Cotton Tie-On Dress: www.shaunart.net?p=82507

Anecdotally hearing about a lot of Covid in Western MA. Honestly, thrilled that people are still testing.

I have so little chill that I’m texting my husband screenshots of his ice cream options from stop and shop before the Instacart shopper starts the order at 9am

Had an early morning stretch in the garden

If I make all my own bread it can't make me fat, right?

Spent my lunch break romantically decanting flour into food bins.

I’ve discovered Powdered Brewers Wash and become unstoppable.

Bleach has had a good PR team, but it turns out there are safer and more effective chemicals to be used around the home.

Good gardening!

I did a new exercise this morning that I'd like to share with you all. You lay flat on your back with a 10lb weight on your stomach and say "this is making it flatter."

Living through dystopian climate collapse means turning around five minutes into your afternoon walk to go back for a respirator because your throat stings from the wildfire smoke that no one is talking about. #climatecollapse
