Hey awesome,We have a little bit of winter here, and while it's not below zero and snowing, it's chilly enough that I most often have a blanket and a warm laptop to keep my company. Olive remains not a winter dog, and demands her own blanket. The col...

Hey awesome,How’s 2022 going for you so far? We’ve been tucked up in the camper, so it’s been pretty quiet over here. The first week of the year I did very little of anything, and partway into this second week I’ve written nearly 10,000 words, so I g...

Hey awesome,I hope you are closing out 2021 with rest and time spent however you like. It's been a...wild year, and it's anyone's guess what's ahead. I'm not much for resolutions (given any time I've made them, they've been long gone before February...

Hey awesome,Here’s a thing you may or may not know about me – I am not a morning person (this made teaching middle school a situation, as you may imagine). However, this view, from pre-8 am this morning…whew. That could change my whole orientation.Un...

Hey awesome,I hope fall is going great for you - is it fall where you are? We have some crispness in the air overnight more days than not, but it's not quiiiite my favorite season yet. It is time for Halloween decorations though, which I'm going to w...

Hey awesome,It is so humid in our current spot that all I can do is dream of campfires and smores and hot chocolate...I really love fall. Though honestly? I can't feel too bad for myself, given that the beach is 15 minutes away. Tradeoffs.As of this...
