Like most readers, I own a lot of unread books. It's hard to resist cheap, interesting-looking books at the used bookstore or the library sale shelves. But as I have limited shelf space for new(er) books, I need to go through them now and then and get rid of the books I'm not going to … Continue reading Try a Chapter Challenge

Sunday Sum-Up: Nov 20, 2022
Winter made an early appearance in the shape of cold, wind, and snow flurries throughout the week. It wasn’t enough snow to actually collect, but the tiny bit we got was enough to cheer me up in the face of some blustery days. And while I enjoy a bit of snow in the winter, this … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: Nov 20, 2022

Sunday Sum-Up: November 13, 2022
Winter seems to have arrived here, having fallen from warm, almost spring-like weather earlier this week to positively wintry, sub-freezing temperatures. We even had some snow flurries yesterday! I was excited. My co-workers, less so. We got a bit of much-needed rain on Thursday morning, but otherwise, it's been fairly dry. Still. I'm hoping that … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: November 13, 2022
Sunday Sum-Up: November 6, 2022
We've been in a drought for quite some time around here. It hasn't been as bad here as it is in other parts of the country, but the rivers have been running low and the ground is very dry. So when I was woken up by a strange noise the other night, I thought at … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: November 6, 2022

October Summary, November Preview
October always goes by so quickly. On the whole, it was a lovely month with plenty of great weather-- pleasant temperatures, lots of sun, and a little rain. The fall colors have been amazing, too.

Sunday Sum-Up: October 22, 2022
Another week has come and gone, and it was mostly a lovely week-- weatherwise, anyway. Work was pretty crazy thanks to all the things going on around town (I mean, it's October. It's about the only month with reliably nice weather, so everyone is doing All The Things), but I think it will get a … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: October 22, 2022
Sunday Sum-Up: October 16, 2022
Last week was a week. It was very much a week. I'm glad it was over. To make a long story short, it involved a lot of stress and me having to solve problems of other people's making, punctuated by a day of feeling like the bottom of a shoe for an entire evening the … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: October 16, 2022
