Little Things #5
Things look a little different around here, don’t they? It’s so pretty now. I was never really happy with how my blog looked, but I thought I should see if I was going to stick with it before I got too involved in changing it. Over the weekend I bought a template for next to nothing on Etsy and installed it. It was surprisingly fun figuring everything out. I think everything works fine now, but if you find any problems please let me know. This week has been a little slow, full of boring but necessary things like car repairs and more car repairs. I was in an accident about…

A Walk in the Woods
My kids had the day off from school earlier this week so I took them out to lunch and for a walk in the woods. Lunch wasn’t anything fancy, just fast food burgers at Wendy’s, but that is what they wanted. The walk in the woods, however, was definitely something special. We went to a state park near us. We have been there before to swim in the pond, but we didn’t realize that there are all kinds of trails throughout the acres and acres of land surrounding the pond. We crossed a little bridge and meandered up a hill. My son was almost out of sight ahead of us.…

Book Recommendations
This came in the mail this week. It is bad for my budget but so much fun. Wouldn’t it be fantastic to just be able to order every single Persephone book ever published? Well, I can dream, can’t I? I am trying to decide what book to read next for the Classics Club. I am in a bit of a reading slump and just can’t seem to get into anything. I read the first couple of pages and give up. Maybe I just need to read something light and fun and then try again. I was looking at my Classics Club list and realized I had made a mistake. Somehow…

This and That
Blue skies and colorful leaves make me happy. It is a pity autumn is so short. I love the cool, crisp days, the smell of the leaves, the sound they make as they crunch underfoot, and the fact that a cup of tea always sounds like a good idea. Of course, a cup of tea sounds good to me even when it is 95 out but it definitely more comfortable to drink it in the fall! Unfortunately, this weekend was gloomy and occasionally rainy plus my husband had a nasty cold so we didn’t go for the hike I wanted to take, but it was still pleasant. I made cream…

Little Things #4
Aren’t these the sweetest necklaces? My son gave me the Pride and Prejudice one and the bookworm is from my daughter. They make me happy every time I look at them. ( I was talking about the necklaces but I suppose you can apply that to the kids as well.) I placed a book order online. It is just a miscellaneous collection of things that sounded interesting as I puttered around. I’ll show you what they are once they start arriving. I love the thrill of books coming in the mail. It is like a gift to myself. Plus sometimes I can’t quite remember what I ordered so it is…
