a few nights ago when we were all sitting down to dinner, we watched a lady walking her dog stoop down to taste a few of our strawberries on the curbside. we all giggled.

this morning i was greeted by another dog walker who had some questions about raising backyard chickens. she told me our house felt like oregon, where her daughter lives.

this afternoon when i was watering the garden, a guy and his dog  strolled by and told me “i love how you are always doing something new here.”

a week ago a woman who lives around the corner stopped by with her dog. she introduced herself, told me how much she loves our garden and that she was building a rock wall inspired by ours. she then handed me a plant she had picked up at the nursery that she thought i might like.

i love living on the corner.

and i like people with dogs.

i have been wearing long sleeves and pants all week long and i am in heaven.
i even had a cardigan on yesterday.
i think i was meant to live in maine.
i wouldn’t mind in the least if i never had to wear shorts again.

there have been little mini thunderstorms happening all afternoon.
i snuck out in between to do some transplanting.

the girls have been in and out all day.
hannah biked to a friend’s this morning and she is still not home.
norah went to a friend’s house for dinner.
and chris is still at work finishing up a woodworking project.

i have a roasted chicken, turnip fries and a big farm salad with chopped up kohlrabi all to myself.

i’m not complaining.

i have always wanted to make a cherry pie.

and i have always wanted to make a cherry pie for my grandfather.

i have heard him several times talk about how much he loves a cherry pie. his mother was an amazing baker.

when my friend called me yesterday to tell me she had found two huge cherry trees dripping with fruit in a field across from her house i knew this was my chance.

the cherries were small but super sweet.

i picked all by my lonesome.

and it was beautiful.

the pie is in the oven and soon i’ll be heading over to surprise my pop.

i think i’ll pick up some vanilla ice cream on the way.

my front porch has always been a room of transition.
i can never seem to figure out what to do with the space.
it doesn’t get used as much as i would like.
we all seem to navigate onto the back porch instead.
we have plans of one day making it into a bigger living room and front entrance.
in the mean time the girls and i came up with a summer plan for our front porch.
a summer art studio.

after dinner we ate popsicles and jumped rope.
we sang miss mary mack as we jumped.

we’re settled in now and the girls are up getting cold showers before bed.

the crickets are singing and i can hear the neighbor out skateboarding.

my eyes are feeling heavier than usual tonight.

we have 2 huge rhubarb plants at our community plot.
just in time for all of the picnics and parties this weekend.
we made a few strawberry rhubarb crumbles and 3 jugs of rhubarb soda.

it’s a hot one today.
i woke up early to get some garden work done before the heat started to really settle in.
i just came in and was about to turn the radio on when i started to really listen to my surroundings….
the hum of the box fans, the birds, the whirling of the sprinkler and the laughter of the kids running through it, and the clucking of the hens.
yes i think i will keep the radio off and tune in to my own station right here at second and edgemont.
