Have you taken the world's oldest cog railway to the top of Mount Washington in New Hampshire? If not, add it to your bucket list immediately!⁠
⁠
This journey will take your breath away. Mount Washington is the highest peak in the Northeastern US, and it is home to some of the world's wildest weather. Yes, really. My hair may never recover (I don't mind a bit).⁠
⁠
The views from the top are absolutely stunning, and the charming old-fashioned steam engine will get you to the summit in style. ⁠
⁠
This isn't a trip to miss. Check out my latest post (link in the usual spot) for all the details you need for this unforgettable journey.⁠
⁠
If you've been, what did you think? ⁠

What did you spy this week that made you smile, or notice? 
I love spying little details, like the last few raindrops, clinging to a leaf, or sultry July flowers, wilting just a bit. 
They don't mean anything grand, and they do not stand the test of time. They do, however, make life worth living, I think.

This delightful, bright dessert comes together quickly, with no cooking, and sets up in less than an hour, making for a totally doable weeknight addition to your meal.⁠

Serve this wonderful mousse with summer fruits drizzled with honey and amaze yourself. Or scale up the small-batch recipe and amaze your friends.⁠

Looking for a summer salad that you can make for yourself AND bring to a party? I got you. ⁠
⁠
Blueberry Gorgonzola Salad with Maple Balsamic Vinaigrette, inspired by, of all things, a salad from a summer outing, comes together in a flash. It's tart, sweet, and has a perfect bite. ⁠
⁠
You'll go back for more. And more. So will your friends.⁠
⁠
Check out the post, linked in my bio, and tell me what your favorite summer salad is!⁠
Do you ever have those weeks when you're forcing yourself to show up, but you'd really rather just tralala? ⁠
⁠
I'm having one this week. I'm doing the things, most of the time, and, am mostly happy that I did. But, making myself show up? That's been a challenge.⁠
⁠
On my way to do a thing that I was really glad I made myself do, I drove along a road near where I grew up that I swear I've never been on before. I passed a falling-down church with a bell stuck mid-ring. ⁠
⁠
It was pouring, and I was late, so I didn't stop to take a snap, but I keep thinking about it.
