How are your last days of summer treating you? I cannot complain since even the extreme temperatures with humidity here are better for me than windy mild days or anything below fifty degrees. I am busy weeding, pruning, and tidying up beds outdoors and gearing up to address boxes and organization in the basement. So today we’ll revisit stories you may have overlooked. Unless you read posts every single day, a story or ten may have sneaked past you.

We also added a new bath in the finished basement, and although I planned to paint it Borrowed Light, Repose Gray won out in the end…what can I say? This house has clear preferences it isn’t shy about asserting.
I find that as time marches on, there are many more lessons in the valley if I will be still enough to be teachable. I shared reflections here.
