I would love to meet your August, Angela :)

Great writing!

I was actually thinking of you, Fotini, when I published this, and how different August must feel where you are compared to how it feels where I am.

And I love that about sharing our writing and Substack in particular—that you introduced me to the hoopoe bird and I had the chance to tell you what happens here on Whidbey Island when August sails in. 💖

This was so lovely to read. I felt there with you and August. I'll look out my window and move through my little garden and eat my simple meals differently today - thank you for helping me to notice the sweetness.

Yes to slowing down, whenever we can. Thank you, Inez!

So exquisite, Angela, as always! And so entertaining to read. The “Al fresco” comment really made me smile! 💜
