Friends, we are nearly halfway through the year. Colton's last day of school is tomorrow and we will be taking some time off from homeschooling with Bryce and Bronwyn. Summer school starts July 15th - for all of us! So I am looking forward to a much more relaxed 30 days or so. I'm still... Continue Reading →

Last week I was hesitant to declare the arrival of summer but that's no longer the case. Summer is here! We've had a sunny and very warm week and (luckily) no humidity. Saturday night we had some thunder and lightning, but I don't think the rain actually made it to us? No matter - the... Continue Reading →

Good morning and happy June to you. Can we consider June 1st summer? I think so - Memorial Day has passed and there are schools letting out for vacation. But New Hampshire schools still have about 2.5 weeks left and it certainly hasn't felt like summer. Not consistently, at least. This weekend was chilly and... Continue Reading →

Happy Monday! Can you believe it's the last week of May??! We're zipping into summer territory even if the weather isn't quite consistently summer-like. On Tuesday of last week the temperature soared into the 90s and the sun was shining! And on Sunday the high was 52ºF and it rained all day. Today is expected... Continue Reading →

Happy Monday. I hope your weekend was lovely! Matthew was on vacation last week so we were able to take a few side quests, including walking the beach of a local lake (still much too cold for wading) and visiting The Currier Museum of Art. We knew that we'd only have sun on Monday and... Continue Reading →

Hello, Monday! I hope you had a lovely weekend. We had a rainy Saturday (which I love) and a partly sunny Sunday here in New Hampshire. Sunday was warm enough in the afternoon to put on a pair of shorts and curl up in a lawn chair with a book, which is a wonderful way... Continue Reading →

I'm sure you know this already, but it is May! April was a busy month and I kept myself even busier thanks to all of the books I couldn't put down. Today's post will be a quickie - my time is very short this afternoon and I want to get something published before another day... Continue Reading →

March just flew by! No kidding, right? I didn't make a single blog post in the month of March, much to my chagrin. But the snow is basically melted and spring bulbs are starting to come in - the opening picture is our first crocus of the year! And I want to get caught up... Continue Reading →

Friends, for once I am not writing to you from my Cozy Burrow. I'm actually finishing this post in a hotel room. My 42nd birthday was earlier this month and Matthew got me a night away! I'm staying at The Common Man Inn and Spa in Plymouth and it is a dream come true. This... Continue Reading →

Who else has been watching the Olympics this week? We're not watching as much as we have in the past, but I'm trying to get in a little viewing every day. I've been most excited by Alysa Liu's gold medal performance, so I printed out one of the pictures making the rounds and taped it... Continue Reading →
