Happy Friday, dear friends!
How are you doing on savoring your June days? I want to tell you that the portable “desk” is perfection for porch sitting… sunshine and rain. Yes, we had some rain yesterday morning and the sound of the gentle rain as I sipped my coffee was the best way to start my day!
I have a few things to share with you all today… things that are getting me through some of the onslaught of nonsense that is everywhere. It can be a more than a bit overwhelming, no?
Breathing with the Forest might be the most brilliant thing ever. I have saved it and have revisited it a bunch of times! I hope you find it as calming as I do!
Speaking of Emergence Magazine… their podcast episode this week was also brilliant (and so timely!) I have listened once, but I saved it to listen again. Yes, it is all about time… but I think you might find a few somethings good as well!
The last podcast that crossed my radar some months ago (I think Kareem mentioned it) is Heather Cox Richardson’s Letters from an American. In ten-ish minutes she gives me something to think about. Maybe you need something to think about too!
Finally, the divine Leila Raven dropped a new pattern book this week. I have been oogling them on IG and I am using them as my motivation to finish the current sweater…must.knit.faster!!
There you go… a few finds to spark your weekend.
See yo hall back here on Monday!
that brief rain shower that happened twice yesterday was delightful. I was looking at sweater patterns yesterday morning, now to dig through my yarn and see what I have which is upstairs in a closet, yet dear Frodo is downstairs begging me to sit and stay!!
There are lots of things here from people who are much smarter than I am! I don’t know why I don’t enjoy podcasts much, but I’m going to give them a try, starting with Letters From an American. Thanks, Kat!
I read Heather Cox Richardson’s email every day. I wonder if the podcast is the same? She sometimes makes me feel better but then other times makes me feel worse! Happy FriYay!
I was a bit annoyed with the shower we had in our neighborhood yesterday afternoon because it cut my walk a little short, but it was nice to have a brief sprinkle a couple of times yesterday — the garden looks so nice because of it! And the air is so much fresher today.
I’ve bookmarked a few of your posts that are chock full of links I want to return to. Thank you for another treasure trove!
(And we just had one of those showers while I sat on our sunporch and listened to Amy Tan on Zoom!)
Happy weekending, Kat.
Okay. That Breathing With the Forest thing is VERY, seriously cool. Thanks so much for sharing! XO
I am still smitten with your portable desk. What a wonderful way to keep your favorite things near! I hope your weekend is full of bird song and flowers, Kat!
I do love the sound of rain on the roof. Rain on a porch roof would be even better. You have posted some interesting links here. Thank you.
