I am very excited for this! Hamiline & Thomas. This'll be the third bike shop along my 4 mile commute and I think that's absolutely awesome. www.marygoldcyclery.com

One of my most loved home projects is a grape vine I bought on clearance a decade ago, for like $4. It was literally just a little stick with some dirt. I give it no care, other than trellis to the fence. Every year, it produces grapes. This is the "King of the North" grape variety.

Someone had a fun time at the dog park but came home dirty. He gets a wipe down with towels afterwards. It cleans him off and also gives me a chance to check for ticks. Plus, he looks ridiculous 😆

I was unsure about taking my puppy to the dog park. He's only 7 months old. But he does need to learn to play with other dogs. So I've been taking him for the past month or so. It's awesome to see him learn to make dog friends. Also, he's always super happy after we leave.

My first pepper of the year! Lol, I don't even know what kind of pepper plant I bought. But this looks to me like a small spicy pepper, not a larger bell pepper. It came off the plant easily, so I'm going to assume it's ready to eat.

Me, a 42 year old woman who does not like pants, finding a pair of comfy Levi's jeans that actually fit was not on my bingo card today. Go figure! Lol they were in the clearance section for $33. I remember wearing Levi's as a teenager so I thought I'd try them on. I am so surprised!

I bought these plant starters from @urbanrootsmn.bsky.social at the East Side farmers market last month for $3 each. It's a tomato plant & two pepper plants. They were little seedlings, that I repotted into larger pots. They have grown so much, despite the crazy heat wave we've been having.

I found this cute outdoor rug and I love it! I still need to add a few chairs but there's no rush. Yes, I know I could buy a set but I love mismatched colorful furniture.

We were at the lake this morning and Bodhi spotted a deer. He didn't bark or lunge at it. But he did sit quietly and watch from a distance. He's 6.5 months old. I wonder if his little puppy brain was like, "Oh look, I've never seen one of those before. A new friend".

I bought a new carry on! It's super cute and colorful. I love how long luggage lasts. I had my old carry on for almost a decade, and it was a no name brand that I got used. Hopefully, I get as much longevity from this one.

In a few days, my daughter is going to visit her dad's side of the family for the summer. I've been teaching my daughter how to drive & didn't tell him. He's got control issues about it. She has her permit & is going to want to practice while she's there. Oh he's going to be so mad 🤣

There's a short ledge on the Como Lake walking path that Bodhi likes to explore. It makes me nervous because there's a steep drop to the lake on the other side. But he seems curious & walks this part carefully. So, I keep him on a short leash and just pay attention.

Yesterday, Bodhi found a turtle at the lake. He didn't bark at it or try to eat it. He just laid down next to it and watched it. The turtle obviously did not like this and ran away, lol. I didn't realize how fast those turtles are.

This morning, I was at the park with Bodhi and instead of our regular walk, we did a walk / jog around the lake. It was fun! More fun than I expected. New cheat code unlocked. Better exercise for both of us, and perhaps I'll turn into a morning jogger. 🏃🏻‍♀️

My daughter thinks he's 70% or more pit bull / bully breed. I think he's 69% or less. We ordered a doggy DNA test and should know in a couple weeks.

I bought a new sofa! I'm excited. I'm slowly making home upgrades, one at a time. Photo 1: our previous, 9 year old, beige sofa. This was with us through 2 houses, 2 teens, 3 dogs, 4 cats, countless movie nights. Photo 2: our new sofa. It's not fancy but a nice little upgrade.

I took Bodhi to a new (to us) park trail this morning. It was a beautiful morning to outdoors! The park includes a small off- leash dog park. It was empty this morning, so we stopped in for his first off- leash run through the woods.
