In spite of the excessive cold and what felt like near-constant snowfall, February was actually a pretty good month. I read a lot of books. I got a lot of things done. I did a lot of baking. The cats were happy to snuggle (they aren't usually). So I have basically nothing to complain about. … Continue reading February Summary, March Preview
Sunday Sum-Up: February 28, 2021
We had a little snowstorm last Sunday, and you can bet I went for a walk in the middle of it. It was so quiet and beautiful that I spent about an hour and a half wandering about.

Unpopular Opinions Tag
It's been a long time since I did the Unpopular Opinions tag, and because the blog has grown and changed since then, I figured I would do it again.

Thanks to my black wool coat, Irish wool hat, scarf, and boots, I've been looking rather like a Dickensian waif walking around. Fun times. What's … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: February 14, 2021
