On my way home this afternoon, I spied The Stone Home, a charming tiny stone cottage built in 1849 by Nicholas Schwab and which is still owned by the Schwab descendants. Commute series #13, The Stone Home, Queen City Avenue, Cincinnati Ohio.

Anyway, gotta get offline and head to my event. We're already living under fascism so we might as well live into our actual values. We might as well take risks and embrace new ways of being and doing. We should reject the status quo whenever possible. We should reject warmed over garbage.

And then on State Avenue in Cincinnati, there’s a lovely blue brick row house with a garden beside it and a few fruit trees. Their cabbages look fantastic! Note that I’ve moved the garden closer to the house for artistic purposes.) #urbansketching

I’ve been purchasing a few button down shirts for the RTO, mostly secondhand because the prices new are insane. Do people really buy button down shirts for $90/each?! That’s like my entire clothing budget for a year!

Boog’s curled up in my lap, Alice is beside us, and we’re just sitting here listening to the dusk chorus and the steady sound of the rain outside. It’s quite the perfect evening.

Looking through some vintage cookbooks to see if they’re keepers or if I can put them on eBay and found this gem. 😬🤔
