We were on vacation to visit family in the Northwest for half of June, and I didn't get any reading done then because taking care of a baby when their sleep schedule is completely messed up takes more time than you think. I did read one book this month, though...

Garden Update: Summer 2026
It's been a very long time since I've posted a garden update. Long-time followers of this blog might think that we don't do gardening anymore, since I don't write about it, either here or on social media. Truth be told, though, having a garden is such a way of life that I don't think that much about it— and when I'm actually out in the yard, I always forget to take pictures!
After letting the yard go completely fallow last year (since we had a tiny infant to care for), this year we've been working more deliberately in the garden. I still didn't plant many veggie crops, but have been working on adding more herbs and flowers.
Today I finally got out and took some photos… although you've got to keep in mind that we've been on vacation and haven't weeded at all in over two weeks. Also, I took these photos right before harvesting a bunch of garlic. Still, I thought it would be cool to document. Here is a tour of what our yard looks like nowadays!
