kids, i am off to DC!

door county, here i come!

again today/ hiding my heart

Who's gonna break my fall

When the spinning starts

The colors bleed together and fade

Was it ever there at all

Or have I lost my way

The path of least resistance

Is catching up with me again today

I'm broken down, not good enough

The broken promises add up

To twice their weight in tears

cabin life

I think I'm claiming the cabin lifestyle as a future must. My family never had one, sadly, but I am pretty sure I could go for mornings waking up on the dock, life jackets and worn-in sweatshirts hanging from the clothes line, smell of a crackling bonfire at night, oh, and blueberry pancakes in the morning. Forsure.

happy weekend.

A U T U M N

"Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns."
- George Eliot (1819-1880) English Novelist

Fall officially started today at 4:18pm.

butternut squash soup

Butternut Squash Soup: Sauté 1/2 sliced onion with a pinch of thyme in butter until soft. Add salt, pepper, 2 pounds diced butternut squash and 5 cups chicken broth. Simmer until tender, then puree. (I also added two cloves of garlic and some rosemary.)
