It has been so long since I’ve done one of these, and I thought it was about time for another! Feel free to play along on your own blog, and link to it in the comments. Here is a smattering of my own recent reasons to be cheerful: Pumpkin patches in October, both recent and […]

It’s a yearly tradition for me to go on and on about how much I love the fall, yet here we are in mid-October and I have yet to fill my quota of autumnal gushing. Clearly this must be rectified at once. One look out the window (or several errands out in the car) this […]

1. Making RTBC a regular feature, because, hey! cheer is contagious 🙂 2. Bitter Betty’s Strawberry Lime Jam, which I feel I really must try. 3.

1. New pillowcases, because it’s finally hit me that pillows and sheets need not be a matched set. I predict more of these handmade lovelies in my future. 2. Daydreams about new paint colors and cheery makeovers. 3. Strawberry jam, made with local berries I picked myself. 4. Bowls of after-supper ice cream. 5. Putting […]
