Books, Writing, & The Cozy Life
Thank you to Sarah for this opening picture! She sent me a link to the gorgeous Fisher Fine Arts Library at Penn, one of her favorite study places. That link is full of the most amazing pictures and I fell in love. And if you have a favorite library, will you let me know? I'm... Continue Reading →
Happy Wednesday, friends! I feel silly about my weather rant on Monday because this week has turned out picture perfect. In fact, I decided it was time to transition to hot lattes in the morning so I dug out my immersion blender to froth up some warm milk while my moka pot burbled away on... Continue Reading →
"I feel entirely demoralized by the sun now, and wish for fog, snow, rain, humanity." Virginia Woolf letter to Edward Sackville-West, 9/22/1926 Listen, I hate to complain.

Happy Friday, sweet friends. This week has been filled to the brim with school activities, field trips with Colton, time spent in the garden, and watching snakes slither into the bushes. We've had turtles migrate through our yard and down to the river behind our house. Toads hopping, doing their best to avoid the snakes... Continue Reading →

I am feeling more and more like myself every day and I know that for two reasons: I... Continue Reading →
Happy Monday! We had the most perfect weekend: sunny skies, highs in the low to mid 80s. We managed to spent nearly the whole weekend outside and I did a lot of reading in a lawn chair while filling up on Vitamin D. Just lovely! I'm here today to share the books I finished in... Continue Reading →
Happy Friday! This week has been packed full with appointments, school, and general summertime yard excitement. It has definitely felt like summer this week! It's been hot, humid, and generally uncomfortable. We even had a thunderstorm! And while thunderstorms are always welcome in my life, humidity is not. And yes, I know that you need...
