ramblings from an arkansas farm girl
Dear Sunday Letter friends,
It’s beginning to look like Christmas at our house. We decorated our Christmas tree last Sunday, and I love how it brightens our world and spreads that wonderful tree fragrance into every nook and cranny downstairs. Ours isn’t a very big tree—it’s in the 5-6 foot category—and she’s on the slim side, but goodness, this tree was so much easier to decorate than the larger trees of our past.
Easy is good, y’all.Continue Reading
Dear Sunday Letter friends,
Did you remember to fall back this morning? I’m not sure why we still observe Daylight Saving Time, but here we are, falling back. (And later, we’ll be falling asleep…) Gracie and Annabelle aren’t observing it, so for the next few days, we will be more out of sync than normal here in schnauzer world. For several days will we all be wondering, “Now, what time would it have been if we hadn’t set our clocks back?”
The math isn’t difficult but the brain confusion is real, y’all.
Last week brought lots of drizzle, our first frost, and our first freeze (at least at the airport where weather is recorded for posterity). You know what takes quite a bit of time to do? Moving all the outside potted plants indoors and finding a spot for them to live throughout winter.
Some, get to overwinter in the garage. Others, crowd inside the house. I’ve been trying to find sunny windowsills all week because this year, I refuse to completely turn over my kitchen to porch plants.
We shall see.
