The day is long.

The watermelon is cold.

The summer feels effortless and free.

Music: “Summer Breeze” - Seals & Crofts, takes me back, and “Down by the Water” - Abigail Lapeli, inspires a sense of calm.
Taste Good: Happiness to me is eating tomatoes and cold watermelon all summer long.
Books: Recently, Vivian Howard {PBS host, chef, and author} spoke at the Cincinnati Mercantile Library and she signed my new favorite cookbook: “This Will Make It Taste Good.” Follow her on Instagram.
Comforts of Summer: The day is long and twilight is even longer. Nothing feels more like summer than a screened-in porch. You’ll find me chilling out late into the evening as I listen to the tree frogs and crickets.
Childhood Memories: Summers in Michigan with my cousins. Summer afternoons by the lake. The night we stayed up until 3:00 am to watch the Northern lights.
Advice: Watch more sunsets and starry nights then skip Netflix.
