Picked even more berries yesterday. Two and a half quarts. But, met someone as I was leaving the patch with my booty, and he commented on all the loot. Will probably rob my spot today.

Love these lilting summer days that pass like a gentle current. Sunny skies, warm temps and low humidity. Life just doesn't get any better than this: bike rides, walks and reading in the hammock.

Am reading Gillian Flynn's "Gone Girl." Sure keeps you turning the pages and visualizing the action. Am learning a lot from her writing techniques. Can't wait to finish it today and see what happens to Nick and Amy.

Three and a half weeks until Ireland! Will roll in the grass and leave my scent. Can't wait.
