September was a month wherein summer decided to linger on, and I resolutely decided that it was Fall because it was September and the autumnal equinox happened and also Hobbit Day was on the twenty-second, all of which are harbingers of Fall. So even though there were a few days where the temperature reached 95°F … Continue reading September Summary, October Preview

Sunday Sum-Up: September 19, 2021
The weather is continuing to slowly cool down. Over the past several evenings I've had the windows open with the breeze blowing in, and the cicadas have finally stopped buzzing. So now, instead of having their ear-piercing static song droning all through the night, we're getting crickets. Crickets are much quieter and more melodious than … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: September 19, 2021

That was an unplanned hiatus. Nothing terrible happened, I just got busy with a bunch of things. I did a photoshoot for a family member last Sunday evening, so I've spent an hour so each evening doing photo editing for that. I've been doing sewing stuff and catching up on podcasts and going to the … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: July 25, 2021
Sunday Sum-Up: July 11, 2021
It was a weird but laid-back kind of week around here. Nothing much was going on, and yet it felt like my evenings were packed full of things that needed doing, like grocery shopping and (finally) finishing an editing project that I've been working on for a friend's self-published book for what feels like an … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: July 11, 2021

Rainy week! Again. Well, not so much rainy as generally cloudy, Especially after Wednesday night after a cold front came through and the temperature dropped from about 90°F to about 50°F overnight. I was perfectly happy to have the cooler weather come in, as I am never ready for hot weather (which it looks like … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: May 30, 2021

Weird week around here. It was gloomy most of the time, then randomly gave us sun with gorgeous clouds- but never when I could get outside to photograph any of it. Or, I'd spend an hour or so wondering if it was going to rain or if I should just go for a walk, only … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: May 23, 2021

I ordered three things from Target online, as I couldn't get them in-store. They shipped all three items individually. Why, I don't know. It's a mystery. What else is a mystery about this order? Why one of the items, according to the tracking information, wandered around Minnesota for a few days before making it to … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: May 16, 2021

I got my first Covid vaccination shot last week! At a grocery store, because 2021 is weird like that. I dressed up in my (mildly) frilly Steampunk-esque skirt and Edwardian replica shoes and hairstyle. It was glorious. One step closer to something like normal! I'm scheduled to get my second shot in a little under … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: April 4, 2021

I have lived in Nebraska all my life, and thus have experienced some strange weather. Christmas Day tornadoes. Softball-sized hail. Derechos. Thundersnow. All sorts of weather weirdness. But Monday brought my first encounter with muddy rain. A dust storm in Texas sent dust and dirt high into the atmosphere where it combined with a storm … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: March 21, 2021

Quiet week around here. Sunny. Warm. Productive. Birthday-like. While it wasn't on the exact day of my birthday, I went downtown on my day off. I had two missions: go to the chandler to check out their new oatmeal stout candle, and then visit the adorable bakery in that neighborhood to buy myself a piece … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: March 7, 2021
