Good morning, DMV! It’s Thursday, Sept. 3.
People often ask me how I write every single day. How indeed.
I quite enjoy looking for fun things to do, scientists and experts to talk to, neighbors to tell me about their quirky projects. But yesterday, I hit a wall, so a day of rest for me today.
On my plate for coming days and next week: updates from the moth lady about her latest project, interviews about life after USAID and more.

Jocelyn Arthun, a resident of the West End of D.C., sent in this photo in May. I hadn’t used it, but my daughter saw it a few days ago, asked to look more closely, then cooed. So I’m sharing it for you to coo, too.
Here’s what Jocelyn wrote in her submission:
“On May 16th we drove out to Loudoun County for their biannual Farm Tours event. I was blown away by the variety of offerings (did you know there is a green tea farm in Loudoun County run by a ‘retired’ Korean couple?). My favorite of the day was the fantastic goat cheese at Georges Mill Farm Artisan Cheese, where we saw these adorable baby goats.”
