WEDNESDAY READER | DECEMBER 7

Hello December!  Hello Christmas time.  Enjoying watching all the lights going up outside at neighbors' homes.  Such a cool time of year.  Magic everywhere from lights to wrapping the gifts real pretty.

WEDNESDAY READER | NOVEMBER 23

Thanksgiving is just right over there.  As in tomorrow.  Do ya have your menu planned?  Invited to go somewhere?  I'll be in California hanging with family.  Pretty sure I won't get a pass helping in the kitchen.  Ha!  We're all gathering at my sister, Lisa, and her husband, Curtis' home. I can hear Lisa now, "Apron's in the bottom drawer, you can start chopping veggies for the stuffing and you're in charge of mashed potatoes.  Everyone loves your mashed potatoes."  She's such a charmer.  Ha! Happy Thanksgiving!  I am thankful for your support by being here and hanging out with us and telling friends and family. Gobble-Gobble

Happy November! Welcome falling leaves, sweaters, delicious smells happening in the kitchen on the stove and in the oven.  Shorter (feeling) days with the daylight pretty much gone around here by 6 pm. Here's this Wednesday's Read.  I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed assembling it. Have a great day and rest of your week and as always, grateful that you're here.

WEDNESDAY READER | October 19

The daily and nightly temperatures here are in decline and for sure snuggling in for a nice winter’s nap. Meaning getting chillier. I remember as a kid in Montana, could just about bet the first snow was Halloween. How do I remember? Inevitably, we had to wear winter coats over our costumes to keep warm as we ran from house to house with crazy joy and glee

WEDNESDAY READER | October 5

Greetings Readers and friends.  And Hello October - all month Halloween fun!  I so enjoy watching the Halloween yard decorations happening in the neighborhood where I walk my 3 miles most every day.  These homes are totally decked out - each with its own unique personality. It's fun to spot when a new little something has been added to the mix from last year.

WEDNESDAY READER | September 21

Hi all ! Well tomorrow's the first official day of Autumn. I love change of seasons.  Keeps everything interesting - new weather, new wardrobe options, comfort food, get to pop open the windows and enjoy the fresh air inside when Autumn finds its way back.  Win-win.

WEDNESDAY READER | September 7

Greetings Wednesday Readers! I had super busy days on Monday and Tuesday cleaning and purging clothes in closets and drawers, readying them to take to The Salvation Army for their second time around.  Feels good to de-clutter things around the house or property that no longer serve a purpose to me. Here's today's Reader.  Enjoy! And as always, so grateful you're here.  Have a great day.

WEDNESDAY READER | July 20

Hello friends - officially celebrating the lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer ... Well, it's hot here.  Multiple days in a row of triple digits.  My lawn is less than impressed and showing it by going into hibernation.  Ha!  My mom sent some love to my giant American Elm outside the front door.  Heavy duty soaker hose.  It's so great.  Welcome to this week's Wednesday Reader.  Enjoy!  Have the best day.
