How are you spending your summer days? My schedule is now determined by the weather with cool and dry days left for serious yard work in the farm gardens. The farm has brought the hard work, joy, and solace that I needed this summer. If you need a little break this week, check out my favorite links from around the web…

• Do NOT click on this link until today's work is at least halfway finished. It's the best/worst kind of wormhole into old houses for sale around the world. 

• Here's a bird with a fish. 

• If you don't like the work you've produced, set it aside for a while.

• We are now eating kale every day. Made these yesterday. I used the convection setting in my oven: 325 degrees for about 20 minutes until crisp.

• Do you like vintage jewelry? Follow this Instagram account.

• Gardeners and designers take note: This VRBO property in Ireland is really really well-priced and a stunner inside and out.

• What's on your walls? Might want to consider this idea. 

• Street scenes have always captured my fancy. Here’s a Corona version. (Swipe for both.) 

• Fellow Wisco residents, check out illustrator Lauren Marvel’s latest.

• Random weirdness: I guess this would’ve been used for the infants of people wealthy enough to employ a nursemaid to sit watch. (Thanks Marjorie!) 

• This made me think: Are we moving forward?  

• Five Women Veterans Who Deserve to Have Army Bases Named After Them. Note: my Army vet husband says the terminology in the article is wrong. The Navy has "bases," and the Army has "forts" or "posts."

• Had a baby sip of one of these last weekend. WOW.
