Rebel with a Clause documentary film by Brandt Johnson starring Ellen Jovin A grammar guru takes her pop-up grammar advice stand on a road trip across all 50 states to show that comma fights can bring us closer together in a divided time.

Hello #edibuddies I spotted this movie coming to my local theater: www.rebelwithaclause.com (the Chelsea for anyone in the Chapel Hill area)—anyone seen it? "Come for the grammar, stay for the humanity" 🥹

We're setting up for tonight's benefit for the farmers market, and it's going to be beautiful! Seven tickets left if you're interested: www.enoriverfarmersmarket.com#home

Yogurt container with a recipe for feeding sourdough starter on the side, lying in a bucket of kitty litter

Bad sign for the sourdough starter you gave your neighbor 😂😂😂

The neighborhood ghosts are excited about the approaching nor'easter!

The cover, or my timing? Cover is totally thanks to my mom! My HVAC guy laughed at it.

I am calling it: AC unit is covered for the winter

My parents neighborhood has the best Halloween decorations

Forgoing coffee this morning for my new tea from Catdrip Curio. Nami was my neighbor at Spa-Con and just about sold out of her teas! catdrip.square.site (she said she'd be working on getting them back in stock after the event)

Can I get to the gym before "November Rain" ends? [Insert video of me head banging in the planet fitness parking lot]

The eaves of a shed with a few strands of thick spiderweb

It's kind of sad to return home from a September vacation and find all the garden spiders gone and only the remnants of their once glorious webs... hoping they left some egg cases behind!

Cans of beer labeled Eno River brewing and "Pete's royal flush" with an image of a toilet with flowers growing in it

I was always mystified by Hillsborough's "Flush Fest" music festival until I learned it raises money for sanitation projects around the world www.flushfest.org And this year they have their own beer!

He's never letting me pack this thing again

Painted mural on wall showing various scenes from Elvis's childhood

Marker in front of a pond with a fountain by benches, entitled "reflections" that talks about giving thanks for your blessings and thinking about what your dream is

Vacation grand finale: A stop at Elvis's birthplace in Tupelo, MS. Such a sweet park and exhibits. The park was built around the original home after Elvis helped the town purchase the site.

Paved parkway surrounded by trees with a faded national park sign for the Natchez Trace Parkway

A dirt trail through forest with steep dirt and rock sides

Cypress trees with flared bottoms growing in murky water that reflects their trunks and the blue sky overhead

A paved road curving into trees and in the foreground a large wild turkey is running across the road

Vacation report #5: Three days driving the Natchez Trace Parkway, peaceful green scenery including a cypress swamp, the original trace road, lots of turkeys, and historical sites. Would be a great bike ride!

Large grassy mound in the distance with a smaller platform area beside it

A hallway with a vaulted ceiling with two large blue glass pointy sculptures hanging from the ceiling, with construction work outside

Vacation report #3: So much to love at Crystal Bridges, definitely will return here! Loads of wonderful paintings, not pictured. I loved how they made their current construction project and gallery reorganization into part of the exhibit.

Large rock with a layer of quartz crystals in the middle

A dirt trail into trees with some blue flowers in the foreground

A tarantula with fuzzy gray legs standing on the side of a concrete step

A view of a distant lake with trees in the foreground

Vacation report #2: Lake Ouachita highlights include a tarantula sighting (!), the Caddo Bend trail, and especially the rocks! Arkansas has the best rocks.

Thanks for reporting on this. I wonder about any differences in how fair trade coffee will be affected.

Emily sitting in large, ceramic looking bathtub holding a brush and grinning, next to a sign of a historical woman in a similar bathtub that reads "I got in hot water at Hot Springs national Park"

Vacation report #1: Loved the historic promenade and bathhouses in Hot Springs, and the many bathtubs, but kind of disappointed that no natural springs remain in the forested areas.

That little pink one in back is trying to remain hopeful

Plate on table with greens, mushrooms, poached eggs with hollandaise sauce, and baguette slices, with coffee mugs and another similar plate in the background

5 stars to the Root Cafe of Little Rock www.therootcafe.com Food from local farmers, plus easy parking and plenty of shady seating!

We met Hamish, the Crystal Bridges cat. He's a sleepy boy these days. Greeted us at 8:30 but slept all day after that until we left at 2:30. #caturday

'Beast mode' to 'teraflop': 10 words from the Merriam-Webster dictionary update Merriam-Webster has announced a major update to its “Collegiate” dictionary, adding over 5,000 new words.

Very exciting day for my Seahawks-loving BF apnews.com/article/merr... (I'm shocked that "petrichor" was not yet included.)

Hand letting go of wet turtle at edge of mulch

A well-intentioned person moved this box turtle into a fountain, thinking it would be better off. I know it's hard but it's usually best to leave turtles alone (or move them across the road in the direction they're going).

Table with a display of Emily's fantasy romance books and bookmarks.

I am spending the weekend at Spa Con in Hot Springs, Arkansas. It is a lovely event and was a great excuse to go somewhere new.

Who's under the table and biting my knee? Not Coco!
