It's been a lovely autumnal week around here. I've gone for long walks (but didn't take any photos, oddly) and generally just enjoyed the cool nights and clear days. After a long, hot summer I'm happy to have nighttime lows a little above freezing. When I look at the weather map, the alerts for the … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: September 26, 2021

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

You know what's great about regularly visiting your indie bookshop? The staff really gets to know you and figures out that you're a reliable human, so when you head downtown to the indie bookshop to order an expensive book with the really nice gift card you got a while back, and it's not until you've … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: September 12, 2021

Pumpkin spice lattes are back at Starbucks. Does this mean that Fall is here? Please tell me Fall is here. I am tired of all this 95°F weather (with the subsequent 108°F heat indices). Bring me Sweater Weather! And some rain. We need some rain. Anywho. As mentioned above, pumpkin spice lattes are back at … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: August 29, 2021

It's tomato season around here. I don't know about the rest of the country, but here in Nebraska, everyone with a garden plants roughly one-hundred tomato plants, as though they expect that only one in five plants will produce anything. But of course, each plant produces enough for a dozen people, and so everyone goes … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: August 22, 2021

Friday the 13th was the other day. Does this mean we can officially start decorating for Halloween? Asking for a friend. The heatwave finally broke here, and yesterday was lovely. Today is supposed to be lovely, and the rest of the week is supposed to be lovely, too, although my day off is predicted to … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: August 15, 2021

Ever have one of those weeks where you have so many things you would like to finish, and then you manage to finish basically nothing? Yeah, last week was one of those weeks. Alas. But there was progress on pretty much everything, so it wasn't a total loss. It just felt like a multi-day continuation … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: August 8, 2021

Last week was a fairly sedate week, in that I took a couple of vacation days and spent them almost entirely indoors, at home thanks to high heat, humidity, and smoke. We had another heat wave sweep through last week, and thanks to the usual July humidity, whenever I walked outside I had the uncanny … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: August 1, 2021

Busy week at work, and I am tired. But at least the big weekend thing is over. And now I am super tired. Fortunately I have some time off coming up. Next week. But aside from work, this week has been... nice? I mean weather-wise (because I know you're all here for my weekly weather … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: July 18, 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
