Friday | A Week in October
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 →
Friday | October!
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 →
Goodbye September
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 →
Friday | We Still Have Flowers!
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 →
Friday | The End of an Era

Fall continues to arrive in New Hampshire - the apple orchards opened for picking last weekend, school has started, and the nights are delightfully cool. And we have more sunflowers blooming! I hope you're also seeing signs of the changing season wherever you are because we... Continue Reading →
Friday | Just Laugh at the Absurdity
Can we take a moment to say hello to September? Hello, September! You all know that I'm ready for fall and am over the moon about this new month. This week saw a sudden shift in the weather - Monday and Tuesday were in the 90s and yesterday's high was 73! I'm not sure how... Continue Reading →
Friday | Late August Gifts
Hello to the last Friday in August. We've nearly made it through this month, friends. Can you believe it? September - here I come. Apple picking, apple pies, foliage, drives through the mountains, hot chocolate, and cozy time under my quilts? Yes, please! AND this week has been full of surprises and gifts. I'm sharing...

Mindful Monday | Preparing For Fall
Happy Monday, friends. I hope your weekend treated you well. Ours was lovely - on the warmer side (up to 90*F), but the humidity level has gone way down and that makes a big difference. We stayed close to home and made the most of our shady maple tree. I even had a little quiet... Continue Reading →
Friday | Rounding the Corner on August
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 →
