As I look outside my window: It’s very cloudy and currently 30 degrees. Quite a turn from the highs in the 80s from a week and a half ago. I had really hoped that we would stay in the 50s and 60s for awhile.

Right now I am: Preparing cinnamon rolls for brunch and getting the laundry started. Definitely a great day to stay indoors and hibernate a bit.

On my bedside table: The September House by Carissa Orlando; The Dragon’s Bride by Katee Robert

On my tv this week: More spooky movies to add to our monthly total. A few rewatches and a few new ones. We’ve also kept on track with our currently airing stories.

Listening to: More episodes of Hello from the Magic Tavern and 99PI.

What I am creating: Nothing much, but I do want to get my Memory Planner started.

My simple pleasures: Egg and potato hash (simple but great breakfast), spooky books, purging unwanted clothing

Looking around the house: After doing a closet purge, I now need to physically get rid of the piles. Some might go to friends in the coop, but some will probably go to the Goodwill.

From the camera: One last visit to Vala’s. And look at those beautiful colors.
