Hello, November | 2023
But there is always a November space after the leaves have fallen when she felt it was almost indecent to intrude on the woods…for their glory terrestrial had departed and their glory celestial of spirit and purity and whiteness had not yet come upon them. ― L.M....
Friday Finds | 11.3.23
It has been a very chilly week here in my corner of the Burgh... the frosts have come (as did one morning with a dusting of snow!) This weekend we are supposed to be a bit milder so I am hoping to get the remainder of my bulbs in. This is my first time planting any...
Unraveled Wednesday | 11.1.23
Greetings Gentle Unravelers and Happy November! If you are planning on any holiday gift knitting... the clock is ticking! I have a tiny bit of gift knitting that I will kick off on Friday with a class with the Queen of Gnomery... the one and only Sarah Schira! I am...
The Habit of Authenticity | October 2023
The start of this month again found me feeling like I am done with this word. And yesterday these thoughts were firmly in my head as I sat down to try and scrabble together a blog post... and surprise, surprise! Ten months in and I found I still have things to learn...
Friday Finds | 10.27.23
Gentle Readers, October was A. Month... wasn't it? My heart is heavy with All.The.Bad.News. And then Lewiston, Maine and Allderice High School happened. So today I am sharing some things that have helped me move forward this month. Things that have helped the hope...
Unraveled Wednesday | 10.25.23
Greetings Unravelers and Happy Last Wednesday! It feels good to be back in my routine... laundry is caught up (as you all know it is really never "done" lol) and we (in the 'Burgh) are back in a week of summery weather. I am loving this "Second Summer" especially...
Sometimes Monday | 10.23.23
Is for finding my routine again! It was a delightful break! Erie was, as usual, wonderful! We walked so much! In rain and shine... and I loved it! We watched the colors get more brilliant as the week went by! We had so many wildly windy days! We saw wildlife galore...
A Gathering of Poetry | October 2023
The poem I selected this month seems apropos since I am not home right now. I heard this poem read by Pádraig Ó Tuama some time ago and I think of it often (and I highly recommend listening to Pádraig read it... you won't regret it!) I did not need to worry about...
Unraveled Wednesday | 10.18.23
Greetings Unravelers from the midway point of our Erie trek! I would like to think that I am making and reading up a storm but realistically that is not likely happening... or if it is, it is in very small doses. I have brought my Pressed Flower socks for company......
Unraveled Wednesday | 10.11.23
Greetings Unravelers and Happy Wednesday! For me, this is the Day Before Vacation and so I have a bit of housekeeping to share with you all. First, next week there will be an Unraveled post... it will be a bit different... i.e. I have it already written, so there...
Sometimes Monday | 10.9.23
Has an extra-big list! Yes, that is what my Monday is looking like. My list is long... as it looks like it will be much cooler this week than we anticipated. So just to be safe, I am prepping some warmer coats, hats and yes... mittens! Ha! My mantra is there is no bad...
Currently | October 2023
It seems surreal to me that we are in the final quarter of the year. It seems just moments ago that it was waning spring and summer lay long before me. Now, I am seeing trees start to turn... my neighbors dogwood has more peach-colored leaves every day. And yet, here...
Unraveled Wednesday | 10.4.23
Greetings dear Unravelers and Happy First Wednesday in October! While my body is firmly planted in October, my mind is drifting away to December and some holiday gift knitting ideas are swirling around. However, if I want to actually get any holiday knitting done, I...
Hello, October | 10.2.23
October, baptize me with leaves! Swaddle me in corduroy and nurse me with split pea soup. October, tuck tiny candy bars in my pockets and carve my smile into a thousand pumpkins. O autumn! O teakettle! O grace! ― Rainbow Rowell, Attachments Hello dear October... long...
In My Backyard | 9.29.23
It must be September, July sun has disappeared ― Charmaine J. Forde This was certainly true this month... one of the most significant things I noted this month... darker morning and evening walks with Sherman. In the morning we are waiting for the sunrise and though...
Unraveled Wednesday | 9.27.23
Greetings dear Unravelers and Happy Last Wednesday of September! I got my COVID/flu jab yesterday and this morning I am definitely feeling it this morning. I am happy to say that I have overcome last week's pattern hurdle with sock one and finished it! Sock two was...
Practicing Authenticity | September 2023
Nine months in with my word and some days I feel really ready to move on... others... well, the many more other days I feel like the struggle is real. Practice is the hardest part of learning, and training is the essence of transformation. ― Ann Voskamp, One Thousand...
A Gathering of Poetry | 9.21.23
I recently finished reading Invisible Women by Caroline Criado Pérez and I have not stopped thinking about it since. So why am I thinking about this today you might wonder. Well, with all this thinking about being "an invisible woman," a poem by my beloved Ada Limón...
