The End of Summer | Book Tag

This tag is a little late. Summer, for me, is June, July, and August. But, Summer 2020 was difficult for me for a monumental amount of reasons. Reading wise... I dropped the ball. And, even though I didn't read as much as I had wanted to, I still found quite a few gems. What was …

how to remember a gate

Today, I need to remind myself that it is just a fence. That installing a new one would be updating the house. It would make the back yard more yard-like. More private. That we would enjoy having a new fence. We need more privacy. I also can't stop thinking about the old fence. After a …

books that make me hungry

Not gonna lie, y'all, this list is going to be super short. I don't think I typically read books with heavy food mentions in them, and if I have I sure can't remember any. To state the obvious, there are a few cook books that I am interested in making some things from but just …

to august

August... is an incredibly hard month for me, usually. It brings back memories of people that I miss. This year, those memories are bitter sweet. My house is being worked on. Things are coming back together. Rooms look like rooms again. And, in the time of 2020, I'm able to call loved ones and check …

Beds, a bird, and a day dream

The event took two whole days, but it is finally over with. The flooring is finished. And with that, the major inside-home work is complete. The bathroom looks like a bathroom, the living room a living room. No more toilet in the bath tub. I have even found my moisturizer. This house is a house …

Because it just... didn't feel right. But, I've wanted to recently. And, I think outdoor projects are a good way to start. …

August Want to Read

August is usually a particularly difficult month for me (I'm definitely more of a Fall/Winter gal) and I'm hoping to get through at least one large book this month. I think, in July, I wanted to read too many large books and kind of burnt myself out. This month, I'm going smaller. And, hopefully the …

July Wrap Up

I started this month on a romancey kick because I'm still recovering from last month. So far, less tears and more stable days, so there's that. I picked up Avery Flynn's Awk-Weird, the second in her Ice Kings companion series. This book was a solid sibling to the first, although I would have liked to see …

July. Week one.

The first week of July has passed, and I am thankful for so much. As much as I wish that this year had played out differently, I am beginning to realize just how kind others can be. Last month was one of the most difficult months of my entire life. But, many friends and neighbors …
