Moving Snow & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up On the Edge #733
Snow season is here and it is abundant. A lake effect snow warning has been issued for my town from this morning through Monday night. I live right in the center of the white area on the map above. Some forecasts are predicting snowfall totals of 71 inches for Watertown. Yes, you read that correctly. Seventy-one inches. That would be nearly six feet (5.91667 feet to be exact). One hundred and eighty centimeters (1.8034 meters). In case it isn’t obvious, that is a lot of snow to move around. I don’t understand why people use the term “snow removal”. There is no removing. It is only moving it from one…

Giving Thanks & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up On the Edge #732
With Thanksgiving just around the corner, I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude. Gratitude for my family, my friends, my neighbors, my “village”. Gratitude for the people who restore my faith in humankind. Gratitude for my body and its ability to still do things with ease. Gratitude for my good health, both physical and mental. And so much gratitude for the healing home that my husband and I have created. It is a place where people feel safe, seen, heard, supported, and loved. I took a step back the other day to observe what we have made and I was so very proud of us. It was…

The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book: Velvet & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up On the Edge #731
Welcome to November’s Good Buy/Good-Bye Book featuring Velvet. I love it. Nancy hates it. Considering the very small number of submissions this month, it seems like only a few folks are in the “love velvet” camp with me. It is a fabric that I have always adored and probably always will. I especially appreciate the luxuriousness of velvet during the holiday season. Thank you to all who have shared their velvet looks with us for this round. We appreciate you! The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book is a monthly series hosted by Nancy of Nancy’s Fashion Style and myself. Every month, we invite you to share a photo or two of your Good (or Bad) Buy items that fit…
