September Sunday Letter

September 3, 2023 By Talya Tate Boerner

Hello friends! I’m baaaack with a September Sunday Letter.

Can you believe September is here? Even though the afternoons are still HOT and HUMID, I find relief in knowing the calendar has flipped from August.

Since I was a kid I always considered September to be the beginning of change because it was back to school time. Now, even though I no longer attend school, I still see September the same way. (Living in a college town helps reinforces this viewpoint too.) Change of season, change of attitude, change in the colors outside my kitchen window.

Despite the way we often cling to the familiar, change can be a very good thing. And, sometimes the smallest changes make the biggest impact.

Sunday Letter: 09.01.19

Dear Sunday Letter friends,

September is here! The thing foremost on my mind for this September? Our daughter is getting married this month! When she first became engaged, the date seemed so far away. And now—bam!— here it is, and I still need to get my dress hemmed.

With September comes fall. There’s something about the changing seasons that adds balance to our world gone crazy. At least I tell myself that.

Ozarkansas Tool Library!

April 10, 2018 By Talya Tate Boerner

Since this is National Library Week, there’s no better time to introduce you to the Ozarkansas Tool Library! Yes, the Ozarkansas Tool Library is yet another cool reason to live in Fayetteville, Arkansas. You already know I’m a huge fan of the Fayetteville Public Library. The tool library is a partnership between the Fayetteville Public Library and Feed Communities. It works much like the book library. Instead of buying a tool you may only need for a few hours or a few days, you can check it out from the library.

Brilliant.

Shout it from the rooftop brilliant.

Food. Farm. Garden. Life.
