Hello September!  Hello fall (do you call it fall or autumn??)  And, of course, hello pumpkin spice season.  I have to make a confession.  I want to love pumpkin spice.  I fall for all the gorgeous packaging and advertising – whether it is for hand soap, cozy drinks, donuts, cookies, pancakes or even body wash… Read More Currently: September 2020

And, just like that, it is August.  Someone on Instagram recently said, “August is summer’s Sunday.”  Ahh, I love that!  The humidity has taken its toll and everyone (and everything) seems to be a bit drained…if not a bit parched.  The pace is slower – and that is okay.  And the ice tea tastes just… Read More Currently: August 2020

Hello July – one of my favorites!  I love the Fourth!  I like my porch looking festive and patriotic:)  That is not my street in the photo above, but we do have someone in our neighborhood who, every year, does something similar.  He places a flag in front of every house lining all the streets… Read More Currently: July 2020

Welcome June! I must admit, I was more than a little excited to turn the calendar page for June.  May was not my best month.  It was long…and draining.  In all ways.  A new month – which began on Monday (my favorite) and new week…bonus! – was a breath of fresh air and renewed hope… Read More Currently: June 2020

Well, hello May!  You came in with very little fanfare…especially as the days and weeks leading up to the turn of the calendar had all melded into one.  However, it is a new month.  Full of potential, possibility, and hope for, at least, a bit of return to life “as we knew it.”  It was… Read More Currently: May 2020

March is in the books but, truthfully, I think we are far from putting March behind us.  So much of all that described this past month – the emotions, the challenges, the adjustments, the feelings and situations we have experienced during the last fifteen days (or so) – will not only move forward with us… Read More Currently: April 2020

And just like that…it is March.  Only 18 more days and we can officially welcome spring!  I noticed my neighbor’s daffodils are blooming!?!  Bring on all the signs of spring.  I changed my flags and front door wreath.  Sure, the porch still needs a good spring clean but it was a start.  And a welcome… Read More Currently: March 2020

Welcome to February.  The month of hearts, love, groundhogs, presidents, and chocolate!  Who would have imagined:) Last Tuesday I promised a follow-up to my post regarding happiness.  That post was about sabotaging our happiness and I wanted to offer a couple of ways to encourage, or foster, our happiness.  However, in order to join this… Read More Currently: February 2020

Currently.  I enjoy this monthly link-up but I missed joining the party in January.  But I can still get my “currently” thoughts into a post.  If just for the sake of remembering.  And I need all the help I can find with remembering anything these days.  I will catch the actual link-up next month –… Read More Currently: January 2020
