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 →
Whew! It’s Been a Whirlwind!
Friends, I planned to share a reading update two Fridays ago but I don't know what I was thinking. Colton was on school vacation that week, Matthew was on his vacation last week and this month is full of doctors and dentists for everyone. May has been wacky and isn't going to get any easier,...

Welcome Dawsey!
I am delighted to introduce you to Dawsey! We drove north two hours to pick him up yesterday and he has been wonderful. My first night with him went more smoothly than expected and I'm optimistic about tonight. I'm nervous about going outside in the middle of the night this time of year because I... Continue Reading →
A Beautiful Week in April!
Thank you all for your encouraging and kind comments last week! It was so nice to connect with all of you and I've enjoyed the back and forth I've had with many of you throughout the week. I am still catching up on emails -- you all are just so amazing. I'm in awe of... Continue Reading →
Hello!
Well, hello there! I apologize for my sudden absence. It came as a result of considering how I spend my time and what makes sense for me. I don't think I'll be posting three days a week here anymore, but I'm constantly reminded how important my blogging connections are. So I'm planning to check in... Continue Reading →
