It was Marikki’s birthday and we were lucky enough to spend it with her, three years after she lived with us in England. Happy birthday Marikki!!

We kicked off our long weekend with Marikki in Paris!

It was a rainy work day!

I spent today editing a book chapter, which was a nice change of pace.

With an over-abundance of summer squash that took on massive proportions, we have become creative in the kitchen. Tonight: Sliced into rings and stuffed with a Greek lamb and rice filling. Plus a side of home grown runner beans!

After a day walking the South Bank in London, we came home to our peaceful garden.

We spent the day weeding and working in the garden. I wonder how we will know when these are ready?
