I wore my hooded down parka today to spend a couple of hours moving junk around the garage today (or supervising the movement thereof).
There’s nothing as bad as trying to pack up the miscellany of a garage. It’s all strangely shaped or heavier than iron (because it is iron) or filled with toxic or flammable chemicals. How do you pack that?
And we’re experiencing winter temperatures for the first time in, well, a season, so there’s that. Ahem.
Fun times.
All is not lost, however. Later, as I was digging through 700 photos I took last summer while on an epic European family vacation looking for the perfect one for my holiday cards, I ran across this beauty. And I thought I’d share. Because readers in the northern hemisphere who were shopping today (or moving the stuff they’d once purchased around the garage), might enjoy it.

Ahh, the Croatian coast. In June. Lovely.
