felt too sorry for our little pumbo to truly ditch him once he was past his prime, so i’ve made him a secret retirement home in the bushes by the curb where he can watch the dog walkers go by.

a sad day for our wasp nest, but a TREMENDOUS day to be this lucky woodpecker!

friday night we went to a screening of the lighthouse that included greyscale audience engagement toys - baked bean slime, a whoopie cushion, a little LED lantern, and instructions for making an origami sea bird (instructions unclear - we made little grey cranes from memory instead)

ran some errands in back bay, stopped to enjoy the gas lamps.

the burbs are all lit up with street lamp glare and my camera is no good at night anyway, but you can totally still see it here

ari has such an eye for detail and a knack for making a night feel really special. 🥺 they arranged the flowers, picked out cheese pairings (we got moon drop grapes!) and set the table with the cantilevered serving tray we found at the vintage shop last fall.

cue: butter candle day, the feast day of the butter candle. waited for a foggy and damp evening forecast, prepared the butter candle (beeswax wick, butter, rosemary, a paper cup for a mold and about an hour in the freezer) and took it out to our little enclosed porch to enjoy with a big crusty loaf.

time to renegotiate which seasonally inappropriate holiday decorations stay out when we swap over to xmas and thanksgiving. we’ve had the real world equivalent of this fallout 4 pumpkin goblin hanging on our front door since *last* halloween, i’d miss him if he got packed up. 🥺

halloween pasta shapes are the prince of halloweek dinnners, and it’s with bitter disappointment that i learn of the now sold out and unobtainable SPOOKY NUGGETS that surely would have improved this meal. 😩

the latest edition of monkey’s glamour shots! he has an important check-in with his pit crew tomorrow morning to make sure he’s keeping his weight up.
