A Late August, Mid-Week Check In?
Can you believe that August is starting to wind down?! My least favorite month is almost over -- and it hasn't been too bad. This week has been especially lovely: lots of rain showers, cloudy days, cool nights. I'm still snipping lots of flowers and picking tomatoes everyday. I haven't spotted a tomato hornworm in...

Full of Joy Friday | Sleeping Outside; Summer Gardens; and Reading

Goodbye 2023; Hello 2024!
Happy New Year! We spent last night by the fire pit and it was wonderful. Of course, I was asleep well before midnight and was happy to wake up to a fresh new year this morning. French toast, a fresh loaf of sourdough bread, and a batch of sourdough biscuits warmed up the kitchen and... Continue Reading →

Hello! Can you believe it is November 15th? We're halfway through the month and headed into December. How did that happen?
