This weekend consisted of family time at the cabin! We went riding in the truck, hiking, cave exploring… Also, Nora tasted a lemon for the first time!!! So so cute. Pics:

…also happy for, but not pictured: Jill is back on local soil!!!! (in case you missed it: her adventures across country and in South and Central America). We’ll get to see her this weekend!
We went to watch the Gold Cup horse races this weekend in Virginia. But let’s be honest, it was just an excuse to dress up and wear our favorite hats and drink Arnold Palmers in a field in the sunshine.
On Sunday we ran the GW Parkway 10 miler, one of my favorite local races. Today I finally went back and counted, and figured out that this was my 7th year running. Whoa, talk about feeling like time is flying by!! Also happy to report that of the 7 years, this was my fastest time yet! 1:41:45 for a pace of 10:11. Not too shabby. Next year I will aim for something under a 10-minute pace. Thanks to Val, Susan, and Lauren for running with me!
MMMMMMmmmm sea kale!
I wish this thought-provoking T.J. quote about continuous harvests applied to my own garden, but sadly all I grew last year was this.

the summer I visited Rome for study abroad, we started saying “ciao scaffolding” to all of the tourist spots we visited, because, as it seemed at the time, everything was under repair. now I say it everytime I see the Washington Monument. I think it looks pretty cool like that, but I’m sure all the tourists would disagree with me.

PRETTY.
