1. My mini munch cucumber plant is growing five teeny cucumbers! This is delightful AND I’m again ever so grateful we don’t need me to grow any real amount of our food.
2. I petted strangers’ dogs at the county fair and they were all so cute.

1. At first I was positively astonished that Biden bowed out and was a touch skeptical that this country will elect the first female and Black president. That was in the first hour of the announcement. I was imagining total chaos in the wake of his stepping down. I wanted to hold out hope because a baked potato would be better than Trump, never mind a relatively reasonable human with relevant experience.
Now I’m relieved at how the whole thing was managed to give her support immediately. I won’t pretend that I personally like Harris. I don’t know enough about her to say yet and I’m not a fan of the cult of personality type politics. However she does have a body of experience that’s highly relevant and she came out of the gate strong and that gives me hope. I do like the possibility that she might be a leader we can accomplish good things with even if we have to push her to them. We all know that’s absolutely nothing like what we’d get out of a second TFG presidency.

1. I treated myself to a $5 body wash in hopes it would smell super fruity (pink lemon and mandarin orange) and it’s totally what I hoped for but also it’s basically grapefruit.
