Me, a 42 year old woman who does not like pants, finding a pair of comfy Levi's jeans that actually fit was not on my bingo card today. Go figure! Lol they were in the clearance section for $33. I remember wearing Levi's as a teenager so I thought I'd try them on. I am so surprised!

I bought these plant starters from @urbanrootsmn.bsky.social at the East Side farmers market last month for $3 each. It's a tomato plant & two pepper plants. They were little seedlings, that I repotted into larger pots. They have grown so much, despite the crazy heat wave we've been having.

We were at the lake this morning and Bodhi spotted a deer. He didn't bark or lunge at it. But he did sit quietly and watch from a distance. He's 6.5 months old. I wonder if his little puppy brain was like, "Oh look, I've never seen one of those before. A new friend".

I bought a new carry on! It's super cute and colorful. I love how long luggage lasts. I had my old carry on for almost a decade, and it was a no name brand that I got used. Hopefully, I get as much longevity from this one.

In a few days, my daughter is going to visit her dad's side of the family for the summer. I've been teaching my daughter how to drive & didn't tell him. He's got control issues about it. She has her permit & is going to want to practice while she's there. Oh he's going to be so mad 🤣

There's a short ledge on the Como Lake walking path that Bodhi likes to explore. It makes me nervous because there's a steep drop to the lake on the other side. But he seems curious & walks this part carefully. So, I keep him on a short leash and just pay attention.
