That I'm enjoying the above book so far.
That one of the episodes Shannen Doherty was able to do for #houseofhalliwell podcast was dead man dating. Her perspective on this episode was fantastic to hear.
The heat has finally broken with some much needed rain.
My tomato plant has much bounty just waiting for them to finish ripening.
