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.

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.

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.

Bookish Chatter | Booker Short List and Finished Reading
Happy Wednesday! This week has been wonderfully fall-like with rain all day on Monday and Tuesday. The rain has cleared out but the forecasted high is in the mid-70s. That's just about perfection!

August 2022 Reading
Despite my recent love letter to August, I am very happy to flip past it on my calendar. There were some wonderful moments in the garden and with family and friends, and still - you know me.

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 →
