A Dozen Thanks Givings
1. Hedgehog cookies. Aren’t they the most adorable cookies you’ve ever seen? 2. The headline this morning about the Supreme Court’s decision concerning the houses of worship in New York. I am encouraged to know that our right to gather in freedom to worship is being upheld, pandemic or not. I believe the gathering ofContinue reading “A Dozen Thanks Givings”
Second Dose of Quarantine Activities
I’ll confess, I’m not really feeling the motivation today. It’s Day Ten of Quarantine, and life is tasting a little stale at the moment. I like very much to have a day off now and then, honestly. But to have endless days off, that’s not healthy for me, either. Day Ten of Quarantine and DayContinue reading “Second Dose of Quarantine Activities”
Quarantine Activity Ideas
If you are stuck in quarantine and are needing some inspiration for how to spend your time, this is a post for you. Idea One: Plan your wedding. No, I’m not getting married.

It’s snowing dancing snowflakes, millions and millions of them, and I’m not going anywhere today. The lights are shining on our baby Christmas tree.

Yes, I’m guilty as charged. Not that it’s a bad thing to do, but it might be a tad peculiar. There’s something about having a space that you, as aContinue reading “Obsessed with Homemaking?!”
Unapologetically Old-fashioned
I’m old-fashioned. It doesn’t take much skill to discern that fact. I used to want to teach in a one-room schoolhouse, and there was also my desire to live without electricity. Among my possessions, I still have the very worn-out sunbonnet I had as a child. Well, time machines aren’t real, and I never didContinue reading “Unapologetically Old-fashioned”
Of Dreams and Leaves
Her dreams- they’re autumn leavesglowing beautiful and bright. Yet quick as thieves stealing in the nightThey lose their hold- And fall, And fall.The red turns brown the yellow, too. They’re trampled down as if on cue.And then the cold- Over all, Over all.
Autumn Anticipation
I get really excited about autumn. It’s my favorite season, without a question, and it never lasts long enough. I sipped my first pumpkin spice latte of this fall mid-August, while browsing in a local furniture and decor store. They are already displaying their autumnal merchandise, and it inspired me to come home and getContinue reading “Autumn Anticipation”
Surrender? Really?
I watched The Princess Diaries 2 with my sister last night. The queen is lecturing Mia on the terrible situations she manages to get herself into, telling her how people look up to royalty, therefore, their behavior needs to be worthy of that. She says, “Can you TRY to grasp that concept?” Mia responds inContinue reading “Surrender? Really?”
