A Month to Remember: January 2022

I’m not quite sure what it is about the month of January that makes it feel like the longest month of the year. Maybe it’s because of ongoing daylight savings time, or because many of us (myself included) are still actively celebrating the holidays in the days/weeks following the ringing in of the New Year- […]

Local Loves: The 1761 Old Mill

I had mentioned in a recent post that this past weekend marked what I think was the last series of belated-Christmas/New Year’s get-togethers with family and friends that I had lined up for the foreseeable future (although my birthday is this weekend- so we’ll see!)

A Year to Remember: 2021

Happy New Year, everyone! Trying to compare 2021 and 2020 is like trying to compare apples and oranges. While 2020 was, undoubtedly, a year filled with trauma and devastating losses and plenty of uncertainty- 2021 saw some light at the end of the tunnel and some sporadic glimmers of hope throughout- even if we were […]

Ten Favorite Photos From 2021

With Christmas pretty much over and done with for this year (I still have some presents left to deliver in the coming days!) I’ve been spending most of my time looking back on 2021 while simultaneously planning and preparing for the New Year ahead. It’s hard to believe that 2022 is only just a couple […]
