A Week of Noticing

I have read a couple of David Bach’s finance books which were more, not factual, but definitely non-fiction. His latest book is more of a parable or story and this second interview I’ve watched is with Marie Forleo – he tears up, she teared up and so did I.

You know how you have that song (or 6!) that you never turn off? And some songs always seem to show up right when you need them? Turns out I Won’t Back Down by Tom Petty has some amazing stories to go with it. If you only read one, read the last one, about Jason Enright. All the feels.

This man’s photography of Antartica. Wow! I would also check out his Instagram feed.

A tried-and-true Mexican-style recipe cleared out the peppers and onions this week. My first try was from a pre-made spice package with the recipe on the back. I went out and bought all the spices on the next grocery trip and saved the recipe.

Feeling like listening to big, dramatic sounds this week so Florence and the Machine made it back into the rotation with a song from her last album.

The transition to fall can be a bit of a let down The transition to fall can be a bit of a let down after a summer full of blooms but I truly love little bits of decay as things start to break down.

There is a beautiful campground in VT - Silverlake There is a beautiful campground in VT - Silverlake State Campground. The campsites are all tucked into the actual shape of the land instead of rows of campsites next to each other.

If you get up early-ish, the fog sits on the lake (second image) and creates some dreamy but sort of eerie images.

Welcome to September! Can you believe this: In t Welcome to September! 

Can you believe this: In the year 1752, the British Empire skipped 11 days of September, between the 2nd and 14th. 😄  It was due to changing the calendar to a new system but yeah, who needs those days!

Also, September 17th, 1787 was the day that the US Constitution was adopted. 📜 💜

And the calm of a clean, sunlit studio waiting for the next creation. 😌
