Followed and loved Starkid for so many years (literally since I was about 11 and I’m now 24 - over half my life!), so I can’t believe I only found your channel a couple of weeks ago!!! Binge watching the vlogs has been keeping me sane while trying to write my dissertation, thank you Meredith! I’m much more appreciative of the seasons (not that we get many in England at the moment) and trying to get back into reading and other hobbies instead of just scrolling on TikTok all the time - new fave channel for sure
I love seeing Brian be the goofiest person ever, and you being completely cool and acting as if it were the most mundane thing. Makes me laugh every time, and it’s so sweet! Also, LOVING the cooking content 🍛🍝🍲 feeling so inspired for midsummer too, woo! ☀️
Hehe behind the scenes, Brian is wilder/goofier than anyone could even imagine. He's literally scream-singing most hours of the day. Y'all only get snippets....
this video was exactly what i needed- my brain really struggles with summer weather and i really prefer the shorter darker days of autumn and winter, but i've made it a goal to try not to be a grinch about all the sunshine this year 😅 so this vlog is a lovely reminder to embrace the midsummer energy and savor the longer days while they're here... and if nothing else, at least summer solstice always helps me feel like the end is in sight/once the longest day is behind me i can start counting down the days till autumn, ha! also excited to actually enjoy 4th of july weekend this year, cuz it's usually a holiday/time of year i hate, but this year i get to attend leakycon in portland so yay for something fun to look forward to!
My birthday is on Midsummer but I’ve never celebrated it on theme, but this year me and my housemates are going all in with flower crowns, a fire and some good food 🥰
This is the second week in a row that I've almost choked while watching your vlog LOL I had just taken a bite of my dinner when you mentioned my Dragonfruit warning and I was so startled to hear my own name 😂😂 I loved that lo-fi beat you made, I can totally hear it as background music for the vlog. Also the baby goats were SO CUUUTE!!
Was taken aback a bit by you saying it was amazing the sun was setting at 8pm. I'm on west coast of Scotland and the sun supposedly now sets at 10pm which means it can still be light at 11pm/half 11. Love Scottish summers. Taylor Swift also found the light a bit crazy when performing in Edinburgh this month.
omgggg I remember how light it was when we were in Scotland in the summer!!! Have so much fun tonight with this long long day!!! Even in Michigan- which is just over the timezone border- we would have daylight til past 10 and it was SO AMAZING!!! Chicago is RIGHT on the other side so everything is shifted a little, but we get lighter mornings. It's all just so fun!
You have really inspired me to read more! I graduated college a year ago and really needed that year to decompress from reading, but I've been reading some of your recs!
Omg, I love your bird journal! I actually took some ornithology courses in college and I still have all my notes on the different birds we saw ❤ Love birds 💚
I can’t believe I’m all caught up on your vlogs! I didn’t know you vlogged so I had to binge to catch up. We love a reading summer! Black Cake is on my tbr too and I think I’ll have to bump it up to read next since you liked it so much.
Obsessed with the cinnamon thing - YAY! I feel like we can get so bogged down by work and plans it’s nice to step back and just appreciate being outside with friends 🌸🌸
So “WAAAAY” down here in Australia we’re about to celebrate winter solstice - strange to think how totally opposite the seasons are from the north to south isn’t it?! ❤
Came for the midsummer vibes, stayed for the Three Rivers appreciation! My mom's family moved there in the 60s when they left Chicago and I spent many childhood summers there with my aunt & grandma. 15:44
Dudes! You've gotta try eating your arugula flowers! Let them all flower and chow down. Arugula flowers are one of the great joys of summer. Peppery, yumsome. Give it a try.
I've been loving these really long nights but oof the heat is so bad this week ;___; gonna get out tonight though for a long walk with a big water bottle. The start of summer is such a magical time! (I'm seeing a play tomorrow so I can't do the solstice properly then but today and friday i will enjoy the long days)
Highly recommend the gnocchi recipe from America's Test Kitchen! It uses instant mashed potato flakes, which saves SO much of the trouble and frustration that can come with making gnocchi. It's quick, easy, and super delicious! The sauce is optional but yummy, and these gnocchi freeze well too! ua-cam.com/video/4PCDfuGK5pY/v-deo.html
Talk to us, Pizzagnocchio! Every time you lie about thunderstorms, your pasta grows longer! LET US FEED!!!
Hehehehehehe ooo I like Pizzagnocchio!!
Meredith has one of the gentlest, kindest faces I've ever seen.
That's so nice!!!!!

Awww yay!! Welcome!! I'm so glad you're here!!
The noise at 16:10 was bullfrogs! My ecology professor said they sound like lightsabers 😂
“There was no storm it was all a lie,” that’s how I feel when they say it’ll rain but it doesn’t!
Yeah why do they lie to us?
It's almost the winter solstice here in the Southern Hemisphere and I am so looking forward to it. Hope you have a great summer solstice !
Oh wow so you're the opposite of us!! Now is the time for you to rest and relax while we get witchy with our energy!!
@@MerediddyS Absolutely, can't wait to enjoy it !
Your vlogs make me so happy. I always finish the video excited to go live life. Thank you Meredith! ❤
Yay!!! Thank you for saying that!

Yay!! Yeah I'm having fun using Midsummer as inspiration to get out of the house!! See you in Portland!
this is just a random Brian appreciation comment. love seeing bri in the vlogs.
Hehehe I love having him in the vlogs!! I'll share this comment with him!
I'm so happy to see someone else who is so excited for Midsummer and the summer solstice. I wish you a blessed solstice!
Yay!! Happy Summer!!!
My birthday is on Midsummer but I’ve never celebrated it on theme, but this year me and my housemates are going all in with flower crowns, a fire and some good food 🥰
Happy happy birthday!!!!!

Also the baby goats were SO CUUUTE!!
It was a great trigger warning!! I was able to skim all those parts!
I can feel the Summer energy in this vlog! And those baby goats and all the fur babies! 😍😍
Those lil baby goats were so sweet! I hope they haven't escaped again...

Your vlogs are such a fun lil part of my Wednesday routine, & I've officially been inspired to try your guys' gnocchi recipe
We've made it 3 times in the last week hehehehehe I love it so much!
You have really inspired me to read more! I graduated college a year ago and really needed that year to decompress from reading, but I've been reading some of your recs!
Ohhh yes so much reading in college!! Welcome back to reading books for fun!
Omg, I love your bird journal! I actually took some ornithology courses in college and I still have all my notes on the different birds we saw ❤ Love birds 💚
Yeah I'm having fun keeping track of all the bebop's we've had in our backyard! We had a red-tailed hawk once!
@@MerediddyS wow! That’s so cool! In one class we actually got to see two bald eagle parents and their babies in their nest. It was incredible 💚
I can’t believe I’m all caught up on your vlogs! I didn’t know you vlogged so I had to binge to catch up.
We love a reading summer! Black Cake is on my tbr too and I think I’ll have to bump it up to read next since you liked it so much.
Omg thank you for binging!!! That's so nice!! Yes Black Cake was so good!!
I loooovee when the sun is still out at 9pm. This is my favorite time of year too!
It's so fun!! I like going to bed and it's still kinda light out cuz I love early bed times hehe
Obsessed with the cinnamon thing - YAY! I feel like we can get so bogged down by work and plans it’s nice to step back and just appreciate being outside with friends 🌸🌸
Yesss exactly!!! It's a great time of year!
So “WAAAAY” down here in Australia we’re about to celebrate winter solstice - strange to think how totally opposite the seasons are from the north to south isn’t it?! ❤
I know that's so wild!!! Enjoy getting rest and relaxation while we all party with our summer solstice energy!!
Came for the midsummer vibes, stayed for the Three Rivers appreciation! My mom's family moved there in the 60s when they left Chicago and I spent many childhood summers there with my aunt & grandma. 15:44
Oh yay!!! Brian and I got married in Centreville/Three Rivers!! It's a beautiful place!
Dudes! You've gotta try eating your arugula flowers! Let them all flower and chow down. Arugula flowers are one of the great joys of summer. Peppery, yumsome. Give it a try.
Also, aaaah. Baby goats. Groundhogs. Muskrats. Kitty fwend. Luna. But mostly... baby goats.
Really??? I think they've been tasting too funky but I also have only been eating the leaves!
I've been loving these really long nights but oof the heat is so bad this week ;___; gonna get out tonight though for a long walk with a big water bottle. The start of summer is such a magical time! (I'm seeing a play tomorrow so I can't do the solstice properly then but today and friday i will enjoy the long days)
