We have gotten a lot of rain lately. And, on the moments when the sun breaks through the outside looks so green and so inviting. I miss long walks through the woods and carefree exploration days. Many of my days have been filled with work, lately. Long hours and lots of inside time. It's been … Continue reading a little calm and a lot of rain

a 2021 birthday
Every year around the middle of April I start to take care of myself a little more. I begin focusing on the aspects of myself which I typically ignore throughout the rest of the year. Usually this means a haircut, painting my nails, and picking up a book or movie for myself. I attempt to … Continue reading a 2021 birthday
coming back to it
For many reasons and maybe none at all, I stepped back from my blog for a while....
Losing Steam
Winter is in full swing. I'm having a hard time concentrating on anything. Self-isolation is getting to me. Long story short, I've had to quarantine in my room again. I've had a few movie nights with friends, and I've written letters and sent cards and have had virtual get togethers, which tend to help for … Continue reading Losing Steam
A few thoughts on December 2020
On December 31, 2019, I passed out on a friend's couch early after working my 6th double shift of the week (or something ridiculous like that). I was awoken at 11:57 pm, so that I could partake in watching the ball drop. I then was told that I had to stay awake for at least … Continue reading A few thoughts on December 2020
Not another YouTube rabbit hole…
We've established that I am normally not very great at keeping up with new hobbies. Typically, I research the heck out of something and then I go for it. All in. Non stop. And then I get bored and I decide that maybe this hobby isn't for me (bullet journaling, anyone?). Anyway, I've recently discovered … Continue reading Not another YouTube rabbit hole…

Last night, there was a decent amount of rain, this morning, the yard smelled like dirt and dead leaves and the air had a good amount of moisture to it. And the pup, well, he didn't want to come back inside for breakfast.With the fall and the rain bringing out the leaves and the new … Continue reading Mud Puddles
The past week has been a blur. Brain fog strikes again. All I want to do lately is curl up in my bed with the pup and a cup of coffee and read. But, all I've had the energy to do lately is lay in bed. I've done some Christmas shopping, and I can't wait … Continue reading
Intentional Soup
I have had a taste for soup this season. I've made potato and chicken noodle and tomato. I look forward to making chicken and dumpling soup later this autumn, and trying a new recipe - butternut squash. I've had butternut squash soup once, at a friend's house on New Years Eve 2012, and I want … Continue reading Intentional Soup
A day of cuddles
Today was a good day for soup and reading and puppy cuddles. I woke up naturally at 6 am. Let the pup outside. I was pleasantly surprised that I didn't have to carry him down the steps to the grass this morning. We've gotten a lot of rain recently and the pup does NOT like … Continue reading A day of cuddles
