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 →
Bookish Chatter | The Last 3 Books from September
I've already greeted October here on my blog, but each day feels more October-like than the last and I feel like I should celebrate that somehow. I have to keep reminding myself that there's still some reflecting and writing to do for September despite feeling like I've fully sank into this new month! I'm here... Continue Reading →
October Reading Plans
Hello, October! In the blink of an eye, the trees have changed color and the ground has a coating of leaves. It is amazing how quickly this change happens. I'm totally here for this shift because I am so ready to start my burrowing for the year. There's nothing better than getting cozied up with... 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 →

September has felt... 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 →
Bookish Chatter | Finishing September (the book, not the month)
Good morning, friends. The week is flying by for me; maybe for you, too? We've landed into our school routine pretty well and we're all relatively happy now that we know what to expect every day. Last week's introduction of quiet time was revolutionary because it has given me reading time that I can depend... Continue Reading →
Monday Morning | This, That, and the Other
I'm sure many of you are feeling the same way this morning: the weekend went by too darn fast! I have to say that I didn't manage to read at all thanks to my three children. And that's okay because we stayed quite busy in all the best ways. Today's post has a few pictures... Continue Reading →
Friday | Stunning Week
This gladiola stunned us when it opened earlier this week; we weren't expecting any to be this gorgeous orange and lemony yellow. And even with new gladioli blooming, there are signs of fall. Our maple tree is changing color and we're watching leaves fall to the ground at an alarming rate. Yesterday's high was 68*F... Continue Reading →
