Books, Writing, & The Cozy Life
Can I take a minute to just focus on the fact that we've finished the 34th week of the year? How? When? Where did it all go? And that's one of the things that I love about blogging -- I might think that I've done nothing, but I know better.Thanks to my habit tracker, currently... Continue Reading →
(the banner picture is not mine, but it felt too perfect to pass up!) Last Thursday, we spent some time at a local pond and walked on a very short trail through the woods. The next morning, I read the following poem in This Day: Collected and New Sabbath Poems: 1980, Poem IV The frog... Continue Reading →
One of my 2020 goals has been to take more pictures and use them in my blog instead of free stock photos. On Fridays I upload pictures from the week and share some of our highlights. This week? Lots of dirt.
Wednesdays are my favorite blogging days because I get to link up with Kat at As Kat Knits, where a fantastic group of bloggers share their stitching and reading projects for the week! 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 →

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!
On Wednesdays I link up with Kat at As Kat Knits to share my reading and stitching projects for the week. This week I'm sharing a new binge-worthy series, two knitted sleeves and a hem, and a sewn skirt! Finished Reading This Week: Thank you to everyone who encouraged me to try the Maisie Dobbs...

Good morning, friends. Each Monday I spend my blogging time looking back at the previous week's spread in my Hobonichi Weeks. I love the versatility of the Weeks and find its format to be perfect for tracking all sorts of things in my life. Currently, I track my daily/weekly tasks, the habits I'm working on,...

Today I'm taking Bonny's lead and sharing a bit of poetry that has struck me this week. I've written throughout this blog and have filled your comment sections about the fact that I'm "not a poetry person."
