As I sat down to write this morning, our furnace roared to life for the first time this season. Yes -- we keep our heat absurdly low and I'm sure we could have used some heat in the house on the few sub-30 degree nights that we had in October. But as I type, it's... Continue Reading →
October 2022 Reading
Thinking back to October, I'm reminded what a gorgeous month it was. It was an amazing start to fall - beautiful foliage, cloudy and rainy days. Perfect for curling up inside with a wonderful stack of books. It's fun to look back on October because November has started out decidedly un-fall like. It has been... Continue Reading →
2 Books to Restore Your Hope in Humanity + 1 Massive Fantasy
Welcome to November, friends! While it looks like November in New Hampshire - everything is brown, the trees are bare - it hasn't felt like it.

Friday | I’m in the Mood for Making
And I believe that our maple tree has finally hit its wintering stage.

I mentioned this week that I'm also turning inward and am... Continue Reading →

The weather has been beautifully Halloween-y: rainy, cloudy, plenty of fog. The slippery leaves on the ground add an extra layer of eeriness! I have been so pleased by the fall this year....

Welcome to Wednesday, friends! I meant to show up on Monday for a post but didn't have much to say, so I spent my writing time catching up with all of you. It was a lovely substitute for what I had planned to do! It seems that so many of us in the northern hemisphere... Continue Reading →
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 →
