Happy Friday my Bluesky friends. Welcoming the weekend with Cucumber Lemonade Gin Punch. These would have been great during the heat wave earlier this week. May you find a way to stay cool/warm/dry this weekend (whatever the weather brings). Cheers!

So happy I got to participate in democracy today at the NoKings take our flag back protest in Franklin today. Clever and heartfelt signs, enthusiastic chanting, and much flag waving. I was amazed how many of the drivers supported us by honking horns, thumbs up, big smiles. #NoKings

Happy Friday the 13th Bluesky world. Elder lemonsecco cocktails will chase away any bad luck. (Elderflower liquor, limoncello and prosecco.) Have a wonderful weekend. Cheers! PS. Bartender did a great job on his garnish.

Had fun yesterday going back to my roots. Enjoyed the open house at Spring Run Dairy in Alexandria, NJ. Beautiful farm. Back in 2013 the farmer started a dairy herd on what had been his parent’s beef farm. He’s done a nice job.

Happy Friday my Bluesky world. Starting the long weekend with Jungle Birds (dark rum, Campari, lime juice, pineapple juice, simple syrup). Not a bad way to start the unofficial start of summer. Have a great long weekend. Cheers!

Cleaning out drawers and came across this postcard of UConn, late 1970s I guess. Amazing how different it is 50+ years later. And do youngsters even know what a postcard is these days?

Visited Higganum Cove Preserve, a new to me preserve Monday. Look forward to going back when my hiking partner isn’t sneezing his head off from allergies.

Rainy Friday gave us the chance to visit the restored Yale Peabody museum. Dinosaurs, minerals, poison dart frogs, and so much more.

Happy Friday Bluesky friends. Tonight’s ‘cocktail’ is bittersweet. One of our favorite places Bergen House meadery is closing down. We have enjoyed the variety of meads but even more so the hospitality of the owners. They will be missed. Have a good weekend. Cheers!
