A little white wine, olive oil, green onions and salt/pepper. Dang, that’s good! #chickenofthewoods #urbanforaging by @gailphilbin

This used to be a lifeless black expanse of rooftop over a garage. Now it’s one of my favorite places to gaze upon from our second-floor deck. I didn’t save the world in this life, but I did create this. I guess that’s something. #prairieroof by @gailphilbin

Every year around mid July - especially this past one that was outrageously hot and dry - I think there is no way the plants will survive. And right about now every year this happens. #loveprairieflowers by @gailphilbin

File under trippy coincidence: I had a private makeup lesson for ladies of a certain age today to prep for a wedding this weekend. I picked somebody randomly online and they came to the apartment we’re renting in Chicago. Turns out she’s a makeup artist from the 80s back when I was “modeling “in Chicago. She knew the photogs and agencies I knew. Great trip down memory lane. #whataretheodds by @gailphilbin

The Catskills. Gorgeous scenery. The Borscht Belt Festival. Ruins everywhere of a bygone era. Historic place. I highly recommend a trip to this overlooked part of New York state! (And travel with @thomeplay and Fred Stella if you can.) taken in Catskills NY by @gailphilbin

The unreported, ignored casualties of these heat waves and climate change are the critters who can’t escape when convenient, like humans. This little guy keeps shifting in his tree perch trying to get comfortable in the oven that is the outdoors. by @gailphilbin
