Ten Favorite Photos From 2020

With 2021 only a few days away, this is the time of year I typically reflect on the year that was- the ups, downs (of which there were many) and revisit the photos I’ve taken over these past months of quarantine, social distancing, and uncertainty. In previous, similar compilations- my “Top 10 Photos” usually consisted […]

Cold November Rain…

It’s been an absolutely crazy couple of weeks- and I’m not just talking about the lead-up to the election and the election results.

A Few of My Favorite Things: August 2020

Although Fall is undoubtedly my favorite season- it’s a little crazy to me that the Summer is nearly over already (although I really shouldn’t be surprised by anything happening in 2020- including time seemingly slowing down/speeding up at random.)

A Month to Remember: May 2020

To me, the end of May also marks the end of Spring, which means- of course- that the beginning of June is the unofficial beginning of Summer. Usually I like to celebrate the transition of the seasons this time of year with a trip to a greenhouse to pick up some flowers for my kitchen […]

A Month to Remember: April 2020

I know that the days and the weeks have started to blend into one long, “Groundhog Day”-esque loop as of late- especially for those of us who are presently working or teaching from home and have grown accustomed to the same routine every single day from the confines of our bedrooms, living rooms and/or home […]
