Books, Writing, & The Cozy Life
Hi Friends, Today I'm checking in about some changes I'm making in the comments section of my blog. In the past, I've always replied to everyone directly in the comment section so that my response is visible to anyone else who reads the comment section.

At least, I hope that Wendell Berry is writing about hope in this poem, because otherwise it feels as though life might be pretty useless. So I'm going to cling to the few sentences of hope that I see in this poem because it's been another gut-wrenching week all around. Here by the road where... Continue Reading →

On Fridays I share pictures from the week. I've been working hard to take more pictures of our lives together and I share them on the blog to stay accountable to that goal! This week's pictures: we're still obsessed with caterpillars, I'm slowly learning more about botany, and the angle of the sun is definitely shifting!

One of my 2020 goals has been to take more pictures and use them in my blog. Fridays are keeping me accountable - this is when I upload pictures from the week and give you a quick rundown of "real life" around here! This week: mostly insect eggs.
(the banner picture is not mine, but it felt too perfect to pass up!) Last Thursday, we spent some time at a local pond and walked on a very short trail through the woods. The next morning, I read the following poem in This Day: Collected and New Sabbath Poems: 1980, Poem IV The frog... Continue Reading →
