This is what our grape leaves are currently doing. We didn’t get any viable fruit from these this year, but we learned a great deal about how to tend to fruit trees and plants. Next year we’re going to have so much damn delicious fruit, including grapes. P.S. We think these are grape plants, but …

Alone vs. Lonely
When I was growing up, I needed a lot of alone time. Ever since I can remember, I found solace in reading a book in my room for hours. I did a lot of things by myself like going to see movies and going to concerts. I even signed up to teach English overseas in …
Photo Friday
One of the best seasonal things that I've been a part of has been fires and roasting marshmallows under the Harvest moon. Normally I only achieve a few of my fall and Halloween dreams each season. This time, I am trying to focus on the present and absorb each spooky movie and Reese's glow in …
Autumn Details
One of my absolute favorite things to do is to decorate for autumn/Halloween, heavy on the Halloween. M and I have an agreement that I can indulge in my love bordering on obsession starting September 15. I would love to tell you that I held out, but the dollar spot at Target and kitschy Halloween …

There are still some leaves on the trees, but the days are getting much shorter. Here are some photos I took during a walk through downtown Colorado Springs. Enjoy! …
Currently Loving: Drinks on the Porch
For the first time in my adult life, I have a front porch set up that I can be proud of. I don't usually spend too much time or money on decorating my house. Since I graduated college, I saved all my money for travel instead. But something about the crisp autumn air galvanized me …
Photo Friday
One of my favorite kinds of pumpkins to decorate with are the white pumpkins. They are the slightly classier version of the time honored orange pumpkins. They look striking when you paint them as well. One year, I painted the top halves gold or turquoise. They made such a nice addition to my fall decor. …
Absorbing the Autumn Sun
YOU GUYS! It's officially autumn. Which is my favorite season. No, not for the PSLs (pumpkin spice lattes), pumpkin lotion, Ugg boots and yoga pants. Because of the crisp mornings that warm into pleasant days with just a hint of chill in the air. Because the leaves evolve into brilliant yellows, radiant reds, and toasty …
