Friday Creature

It. is. so. hot. hot. hot. here in Tennessee. The heat is record-setting for this time in June. And dry. It feels like August, and it's sucking the energy right out of me. Too much too soon.

But I do have memories of the seaside in Greece. I was there in May and while it was hot for part of the trip, in Greece, I could always count on being refreshed by the sea. We stopped one day for a lunch by the water on our way from Nafplion to Delphi and the sea was clear and cool. I found this sea nettle there.

Have a great weekend, everyone! Stay cool and enjoy all the creatures on the modulator's ark!

Hello! I'm Alice, which is my real name (most of the other names here have been changed, though, to protect the innocent). I live in an circa-100-year-old house in downtown Chattanooga, TN with my first husband, G-Dog (who is from New Canaan, CT) and a (possibly autistic) cat named Greta. Our daughter, Emmie, lives nearby, so she pops by regularly to amuse us and/or stir the pot.

I originally hale from Batavia, NY, a quiet little town in rural western New York. G-Dog and I met while attending college in Carlisle, PA, and then moved on to Chapel Hill, NC together before finally settling in Tennessee. Other places we've lived in long enough to have a mailing address include London and San Francisco.

This blog is about a lot of things -- the places I visit, food I cook, people I meet, photos I take, things I read -- with a bit of politics thrown into the mix. I'm a slow food-loving locavore; I enjoy running, biking and hiking; make my own soap, moisturizers and household cleansers; and enjoy sewing, crocheting and playing with textiles).
