Books, Writing, & The Cozy Life
September is the coziest month for me. There's something about the start of a fresh, new academic year that gets me super excited (I would send you a bouquet of newly sharpened pencils if I knew your name and address - one of my favorite quotes from one of my favorite movies, You've Got Mail)....

This week I'm sharing two finished books, a finished Summer Bingo Card, and my progress on my Spark cardigan. Finished Reading This... Continue Reading →

From 1979, poem XII: To long for what eternity fulfillsIs to forsake the light one has, or willsTo have, and go into the dark, to waitWhat light may come -... Continue Reading →
I like to share pictures from the week on Fridays. One of my 2020 goals was to take more pictures and use them in my blog -- these cozy Friday posts help keep me accountable! I don't have very many pictures this week because it's been wicked hot and we've stayed tucked under the air conditioner as much as possible, but I have pictures of my two youngest and the first few minutes of a monarch butterfly's life!
