Happy Friday 10/16/20
Happy Friday! Any exciting weekend plans? Garrett and I got our ballots in the mail last night and I’m excited to sit down with our voter pamphlet and vote this weekend!
In other news…I recently took some photos of our garden at dusk and thought I’d share a little tour in today’s post (keep scrolling for our usual Friday links). This garden is about to get put to bed for the season and I’m going to miss it. Evenings out here are especially magical with the owls hooting and the air still (it’s windy in Ellensburg, so the still is worth noting 😉). Have a look around…

Scientists say they have zeroed in on the world’s healthiest diet. My sister sent me this week and I had to share. (inc)
This basement kitchen had me at “conservatory-like extension with a glass roof”. Can I have one of those in my life? (clever)
The other day I found myself on the taste-maker’s Jenna Lyons Instagram page and spotted (gasp) some gray hairs. Feeling in reallll good company. (@jennalyonsnyc)

A personal dialect map. Take this quiz to see if your dialect can reveal where you’re from. (I got Seattle, Tacoma, and Salt Lake City!) (nytimes)
Kill your gas stove. It’s bad for you and the environment. “Given advances in induction technology, concerns about the climate, health anxieties, or some combination of the three, should anyone be using one?” (Ashley at the Gold Hive also wrote a thoughtful post about picking the most environmentally friendly stovetop for her kitchen this week.)

Into this DIY coffee table situation (and everything else in this photo)! (@jultompa)
I found this so beautiful: A glance at life on Britian’s small islands. “When I began visiting these places, I held the misconception that island living would be desolate and lonely… What I found instead were small communities of people who established a deep sense of connection with one another, who worked hard and felt passionate about conservation, and who were consistently warm and welcoming to visitors.” (nytimes)
Have a great weekend!
