  Very interesting book reading by Josh Noel- from his book "Barrel aged stout and selling out ".. His experience with the Anheiser Busch sales Reading the chapter about ABV purchase of Wicked Weed... Cashmere on my bossie, and a peach sour in my glass . It's a good day.

  The sun is finally out and the birds are chirping. It's time for clean up to begin. There are some limbs down, but no trees. There's a lot of standing water. But the reality is I'm doing so much better, then so much of the state! I didn't have any flooding.. I lost power a few times, for the longest a couple hours. The coffee was always hot, unless I wanted it cold. There were plenty of snacks. I watched stupid movies. All in all, other than a week in the roof that needs to be fixed, I made it out without significant damage.. I am grateful . #hurricaneflorence #sunshine #herecomesthesun #sosoggy #dryout #hurricanecleanup #afterthehurricane

  OH... clearly THIS is what has been missing from my life- a packet of MIRACLE SPRING WATER!!! Sign me UP!! **note the joy of being awake at 2:42am and the amazeballs things that one misses when they can get to sleep. . #rediclouslatenighttv #miraclespringwater #cantbelievethisisreal

  Hurricane lunch... corned beef hash, and enjoying a hot meal while we have power. It doesn't look super pretty, but I cut up the leftover potatoes from the corned beef in i made yesterday in the crock pot.. throw in a skillet with a splash of olive oil and a half a diced onion. While it begins to heat, cut up pieces of corned beef and whisk a couple eggs. Add the corn beef to the skillet so it can begin to heat up and release a bit of fat. Once the potatoes become crispy and onions are translucent add the eggs and scramble all together. Usually I make the eggs separately, because it looks prettier, but scrambling together gives such a great flavor to the eggs! . #ilovetocook #ilovegoodfood #eatlocal #hurricanesnacks #foodie #foodporn #eathealthy #healthyliving #eatallthethings #cornedbeef #cornedbeefhash

  Ohhhh the snacks!! Starting with a framboise lambic in my fave @pluckyfluff thrown cup. There is much in the fridge that will get eaten first when we loose power— boiled eggs, cheese, cold cuts, veggies and salad fixins... and of course always have the best @boegerwinery on hand for all emergencies, holidays and general storms.. hilarious that I haven’t actually bought these kinds of “snacks” in years since I started eating healthy and losing weight.. (well.. except Girl Scout cookies.. I always have some of those stashed for emergencies.. ) but when there’s a hurricane, eat cheese nips (after a salad...) . #boeger #junkfood #hurricanesnacks #hurricaneparty #hurricaneflorence #stormwatch

  Kismet... I brought home the mug on the right from an artisan shop in Bar Harbor Maine... I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it. I discovered the artist on the left through a Facebook group we're both in, and I was instantly obsessed with her work.. I had to have this tumbler that looked like it was a photograph from my memory of the full moon when I was there last month, & the trees along the Seawall that look the same now as they did when I was feeding seagulls there at the same picnic table when I was a kid.. And of course as the universe works, when I sent this photo to the artist of the tumbler (@coryuc.ceramics) showing how unintentionally well they matched, she gleefully told me the Birch mug artist (@goodlandpottery) is her friend! Because that's the world bringing artists together... Also.... now I see a need for more of their combined work... . #handthrownpottery #pottery #handthrown #woodfired #maker #handthrownmug #handmade #homegoods #interiordecor #interiordesign #bohostyle #boholife #birchmug #practiceandalliscoming #alwayscoffee #tastesbetterinahandmademug #barharbor #maine #acadianationalpark #acadiapark
