October

Autumn is here, can you believe it? I'm loving our backyard suppers and bonfires.

 Setting the table for a backyard supper date / dinner is served / Mabel is a film star / studio time / birthday party leftovers.

Make it count

It's the weekend, people! And the weather is beautiful!

A few of the things on my mind:

These perfect wedding invitations.

Custom chalk boards!

“I’m always on time, and I don’t get drunk or hole up in a hotel with my lover.”

 And, it's commencement season... here's one of my all-time favorite speeches. You'll want to read it.

Wisteria blankets my neighborhood / Mabel wonders (generally) / a peony, almost / a sweet present on my desk.

Mornings

Mabel keeping it cozy / roses in my (warm) kitchen / ice on the windows

Quickly

Mabel boycotts winter.

Weekly scenes

Pretty flowers brighten up my office / Mabel objects to Daylight Savings 

Puppy birthday

June 15 marked Mabel's 5th birthday. I gifted her a large stuffed owl, which she carries with her wherever she goes, and an extra large dog biscuit. Happy birthday to my girl!

A brief report

What I'm reading,
What I'm browsing,
and, I just acquired this lovely little five year diary.

Woods walk

Just one more week until daylight savings springs us forward. We're almost there.

More than ever

St. Valentine

Please go and see Light Sensitive: Photographic Works from North Carolina Collections, at the Nasher. It's maybe for real possibly the best photo show I've seen... ever.

And, happy Valentine's day... from Mabel. (She ate that cookie in 2 seconds.)
