I was a little embarrassed to show you what my exercise room looked like yesterday but I figured my readers would have one of two reactions. Either you’d look at it and think, “Yay! I’m not the only one” and feel better about yourself. Or “I’d never let a room get like that” and again,…

31 Days of Autumn Nesting: Day 14 – The Exercise Room

I finally tackled a long-postponed task today. Our exercise room has been a dumping ground ever since our Happyland Music Festival back in May. Actually, that’s not entirely true. I *did* have it sort of straightened up at one time – at least enough that I could get in there to use the exercise equipment….

Today was another beautiful day here in Oklahoma so even though I had things that needed to be done inside, I spent some time here: I sat on the porch drinking iced tea, reading and listening to music. And hanging out with Dharma: And admiring the view: I may not have made much progress on…

“We the People…” We first hear those words in elementary school but spend a lifetime grappling with what they truly mean.

This morning I checked the upcoming weather forecast and was delighted to see this: It is currently 82 degrees and I just took Shiloh for a walk. I purposely took my phone so I could capture a bit of fall color. That last one wasn’t an attempt to be artsy but a matter of accidentally…
