Yule log cake! Delighted with how it turned out, and a great end to a nice solstice dinner.

What we woke up to this morning. Yeah that's preschooler finger scoop marks through the leftover pumpkin pie . . .

One of the fun things about Seattle is that we can grow such a wide variety of plants. Turns out yuzu is cold-hardy down to ~10 degrees so we can even grow a citrus! This is our first sizable crop and I am excited.

Took the kids to see the salmon run at the creek nearby. Apparently it's the most fish the park has seen since the 90s! Of course the kids were most interested in the dress ones . . .
