Il dolce far niente

September 3, 2018 (246/365) Each year, right before the first day of school, I celebrate the sweetness of doing nothing -- one day to read, sip tea, watch movies, knit, nap, whatever I want. My BFF is happy to share the delicious idleness...and she's really good at it!

Christmas Decorations

December 10, 2017 (344/365) "Christmas waves a magic wand over the world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful." - Norman Vincent Peale

This year's new ornament: a French macaron (from the Milwaukee Art Museum)

Bien-sûr!

I think Piper approves!

First Snow of the Season

December 9, 2017 (343/365)

"The first fall of snow is not only an event, it is a magical event. You go to bed in one kind of a world and wake up in another quite different, and if this is not enchantment then where is it to be found?" - J. B. Priestley

Dog Days of Summer

Jonathan Swift said, "Every dog must have [her] day," but isn't everyday her day?

Long walks, being outside, reading, and napping -- I love summer with Piper!
