It snowed all day yesterday. It was beautiful, but heavy and wet. That means that it is compacted and dense, which makes it difficult to measure the total and clearing it is going to be a total beast. It was the kind of snow that brings down power lines. Here at our house, the power... Continue Reading →
At My Desk
What a weekend! Here in New Hampshire, it was relatively warm and sunny. A lot of snow melted so our driveway became Puddle City and, once again, plenty of mud has been tracked into the house. The work is never done! But it is so nice that the kids can get outside and burn off... Continue Reading →
Bookish Chatter | March Has Crept In
Good morning! This week continues to feel upside down but I'm here today to share my recent reading with you. As I alluded to on Monday, my reading has slowed down quite a bit after a busy February.

February 2023 Reading Review
This weekend was full of time outside in the snow - it was wonderful (and exhausting)! Last week was winter vacation here in New Hampshire so we had very little structure, but it snowed nearly every day so there was plenty to keep us busy. And this morning was an awkward start -- I accidentally... Continue Reading →
Bookish Chatter | A Stellar Week
Happy March 1st! March is considered spring in some parts of the Northern Hemisphere.

Bookish Chatter | February – Where Are You Going?
Hello, Wednesday! And we've already arrived at the eighth of February. Before we know it, we'll be at the fifteenth and on the downslope of the month. Too fast! I will blink and it will be summertime and will be having hummingbirds visiting the window in front of my desk while I'm typing these blog... Continue Reading →
January 2023 Reading Review
2023 has started off quite bookishly. I love putting together these monthly reviews, mostly because it's interesting to see what I actually remember about books after I've finished them. Luckily, I have my notebooks to help me fill in the cracks. This post was easy to write because all of the books were memorable! Addy's... Continue Reading →
Bookish Chatter | Wrapping Up January & February Plans
Hello, February! We are a tiny bit closer to spring, but it looks like we will have to withstand some frigid weather before we can get there. I can't complain because our winter has been relatively mild, so I will do my best to grin and bear it (and to be thankful that I don't... Continue Reading →
