I made the executive decision to publish this week's post on Sunday instead of Friday. Our days have been stuffed to the gills with board games, big walks, and a ton of time playing in the shade in the backyard -- time for my own pursuits has been fleeting but I've gotten good at capitalizing...

Mid-August | We’re Halfway There!
When I checked in with you on Monday, I left with the hope that the kids and dog would be amenable to hiding out under the air conditioner this week given the forecast. I'm here to share that the answer to that question was a big, fat NO. We've spent so much time outside and... Continue Reading →
Late Summer | Early August
Isn't there something amazing about late summer? YES - I am ready for this torture to end and YES - look at that light! It's been a while since I've been on a walk but I took one late in the day yesterday. It was a good choice for many reasons, one of which was... Continue Reading →
It’s Still August
Hello, there. I know this is the second Friday in August, but it feels so strange. On one hand, I can't believe that it's already the second week of August. On the other, I am so ready for August to be over. August is my least favorite month: it just seems to drag for me,... Continue Reading →
Hello August!
We are creeping closer to Fall, however slowly. Today's post will be a rush job yet again, but I am trying to be a consistent blogger and that means breaking the ice in messy ways. I'm going to keep it simple again and focus on home stuff, knitting, and reading. Maybe there's a nifty acronym... Continue Reading →
Oo-De-Lally, Oo-De-Lally, Golly What a Summer
It's been two months and I have no idea how to write this update! There's just so much to share and -- at the same time -- nothing really new around here. We've had some stunning days that have allowed us to spend big chunks of time outside and we've had even more stifling days... Continue Reading →
The End of May | 2025
And just like that... May is nearly over! I didn't want to go without capturing a snapshot of this last week, so I'm here on a Friday evening trying to type this up despite everything happening around me. So please forgive however this turns out! This week has been up and down but seems to... Continue Reading →
A Spring Nor’easter
Who else is soaked to their bones? We've been in the middle of a spring nor'easter and the rain has been out of this world. And so chilly - our high temps have been in the mid-50s for the last few days. It would be lovely if we were wrapping up a long, hot summer... Continue Reading →
A Wild Weekend!
The opening picture is a pretty good representation of this weekend! That's Dawsey ripping through his toys while settled into a pile of paper that Colton ripped up. So clearly, we were busy! We had a pretty rainy Saturday with some amazing thunderstorms that evening. I worked at the library in the morning as usual... Continue Reading →
A Mid-May Snapshot
Friends, spring has officially arrived in New Hampshire! And while we're nearing the start of my least favorite season (summer), I'm doing my best to soak in the little details that announce the arrival of spring. The opening picture is of our columbine blooming! These flowers always remind me of stars and are stunning. Trees... Continue Reading →
