Books, Writing, & The Cozy Life
Colton just got on the bus and I have a few minutes to type a paragraph or two before Bryce, Bronwyn, and I get started with school today. I have a small bout of spring fever this morning and have had flowers on my mind. A quick glance at my blog reader this morning makes... Continue Reading →
I don't think of myself as a prolific maker, but goodness - I am eclectic! No wonder I always feel so scatterbrained - I have so many interests and allow myself to get pulled in so many directions. And the following is the result! I've done my best to look at the pictures I've uploaded... Continue Reading →
And I believe that our maple tree has finally hit its wintering stage. In less than a month we've gone from a full tree with just a tinge of color to nearly barren, with just a handful of leaves holding on for dear life. I mentioned this week that I'm also turning inward and am... Continue Reading →
Last week was a strange one - I couldn't pull anything together for the blog for some reason. I feel bad about missing my Monday and Friday posts, but that's just how it goes sometimes. I'm hoping this will be a more typical week for me! This is the picture I meant to share on... Continue Reading →
Our maple tree somehow still has leaves on it despite how quickly my lap gets covered when I'm sitting under it and reading, even for just a few minutes. It rained all day yesterday and it is forecasted to keep raining today. We will see what that does to the leaves this weekend! I'm enjoying... Continue Reading →
What a difference a week makes! The orange leaves have crawled up our maple tree since I shared a picture last Friday and we're closer to a totally turned tree. We're hoping for a drive into the mountains this weekend to see how much the foliage has changed since our last trip a few weeks... Continue Reading →
This is the state of our maple tree right now. Some light orange at the bottom, a few leaves on the ground (which you can't see). This time next month will be a different story - and that will be here before we know it! Today is the last day of September, which has been... Continue Reading →
Hello, friends. Welcome to another Friday! Earlier this week I stood by the back door and watched the leaves drift down to the ground, coffee in hand. We have two locust trees in the backyard and we've noticed that they are always the first to drop their leaves at our house, so it's a preview... Continue Reading →
This gladiola stunned us when it opened earlier this week; we weren't expecting any to be this gorgeous orange and lemony yellow. And even with new gladioli blooming, there are signs of fall. Our maple tree is changing color and we're watching leaves fall to the ground at an alarming rate. Yesterday's high was 68*F... Continue Reading →
This is the second to last Friday in August; I was just dreading the beginning of this month and now it's almost over. How does that always happen?! We are really noticing the shortening of days lately and it's strange to be up before the birds in the mornings. And I still love being a... Continue Reading →
