I love this Short and Sweet! I will definitely check out Harlots on Hulu. I also prefer "old school" donuts. I used to work in a donut shop as a teenager, so my love for donuts runs deep! Thank you for your fun posts!

Oh! Good to know that the app isn't always accurate. I'll have to have you over to verify some of the bird calls. 😀

😃 🍓Ooh. You might have to go get a strawberry French cruller and eat it as you gaze at the Strawberry Moon tonight! Jared had a strawberries and cream donut yesterday for National Donut Day. Yay for strawberry season! Thanks for reading and commenting, Bee! Maybe my final act will be opening up that donut shop in Europe or somewhere they haven't yet experienced the donut craze. Dare to dream.

It’s almost scary how often our writing/ideas align! This is one of many times you’ve written about something I’ve been pondering. In this case - birds! I just love sitting out and listening to all the different bird calls this time of year. I’ve been toying with the idea of writing about it. You beat me to the punch. :)

And “Ring-A-Ding Donuts”?! Best. Donut Shop Name. Ever.

I love that we're on the same wavelength, Jenn! Please write about birds so I can get some insights into the Alaskan bird scene. I highly recommend that Merlin Bird ID app. It's free and so much fun to use. And thank you for the support on the Ring-A-Ding Donuts name. I still love the name and the idea, though I doubt I could ever really get up at 4am to make the donuts.

I don't think you can ever go wrong with Donut chat in my eyes! Love the shop name and it still sounds like a great idea!
