It’s been an unusually rainy and stormy late summer, but I’m not mad about it because it’s been perfect reading weather.
So it turns out all that (air quotes here) “wedding planning” I’ve been doing for the past several months is actually coming to fruition.
Well, the great Pela Lomi composter experiment has come to an end.
August odds and ends: A surprise proposal (not mine!), chickpea shawarma dip and house hunting (!!!)

August was (no surprise) a busy month, but I found time for a few books.
I just wrapped up an extended weekend trip back home in southeast Michigan.
I always love having an excuse to visit Michigan, and considering the last excuse was a funeral, my cousin’s baby shower was a much-welcome reason to visit my hometown.
August has been an absolute whirlwind so far.
I kicked my month off with a quick four-day trip to the White Mountains of eastern Arizona to work on two separate but physically close wildfires (the Indian Creek and the Bronco) on both the San Carlos Apache Tribal Lands and the Fort Apache (White Mountain) Tribal Lands.
Despite a fire assignment that took up exactly half of my July, I did find quite a bit of time to get a good amount of summer reading in.

Well, this one was a doozy.
I just wrapped up a 14-day fire assignment on the North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park for the Dragon Bravo Fire.
