Prairie dock (Silphium terebinthinaceum)

It’s stunning in both a wild prairie and in a more planned garden setting. It’s towering height may reach 10 feet tall. It deserves all the awe it inspires, a pollinator and bird favorite.

Vermont Curry

Not only for a Japanese style curry dish (though obviously awesome for that). Anytime something is being braised, add a cube or two to introduce a flavor bomb that is sweet, salty, and adds a rich texture. my favorite: udon nooodles with braised chicken in curried broth with whatever vegetable has been stuck in the fridge.

Watching People Renovate Stone Houses

There are so many of them. It’s a soothing balm in this world of chaos and sadness. There’s something about watching people problem solve projects and see the visual results of their hard work, time, money, and efforts. Plus, some amazing restorations of very, very old homes.

Running to Epic Movie Scores

Want to feel like you are running through some epic movie scene even though you are actually going turtle speed in the local park? Hans Zimmer it! Plenty of options: Interstellar, Inception, Dune, Batman. Mix it up with some John Williams, Alan Silvestri, Danny Elfman, Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross (e.g., The Social Network or Challengers).
