bests of the summer

a weird, terrible, no-good summer, the worst of my life, and yet there was still much to be thankful for:

lincolnville motel, what a dream // birthday wine from drifter's wife // homemade sourdough bagels // just the very fact of getting a dream job, even if i couldn't accept it // WALDEN POND, over and over and over // melissa & travis // charcuterie on our cabin porch in maine // reverse pull-ups // pizza pizza pizza // kate zambreno // peckhams' greenhouse in little compton // my geranium plant, a real joy // last days with the coyles // a rhode island summer, just what i wanted // my first NYC exhibit // rachel cusk // floating in the pool // a bouquet for graduation // washing the new car in the driveway with mom and dad, a deeply familiar task // our own hatchback // a spontaneous nc trip // jean & rosie // madness, rack and honey // chase's daily, three days in a row // LIME ROCK, a refuge // a surprise birthday hike // oyster river winegrowers // my desk overlooking sheldon st. // fulbright miracles, julia bee // michael and mirjiam's backyard on the fourth of july // moving the mattress into our living room on the hottest nights to be near the ac unit, like a slumber party // a banner for maya // burnt honey ice cream // all the ice cream from big feeling // pozole // tamales from dolores // derek in pvd, at last // homemade waffles // sachuest point nature preserve // jane & ernie's back porch on a sunday afternoon // running again // a text from nick, that bit of hope at the end after all
