Falling Leaves

Fall has definitely arrived here in Portland, and I am enjoying every glittering, cooling, moment.   I thought that perhaps, with such a short summer, I would resent the golden season, but no, I don't.  I love it.

We have been so busy with travels to see family, or with family traveling to see us, that life has been a bit out of rhythm.  You know how that is, right?  When you have several different adventures to clean up from all at once?  Well, that's where we have been and will continue to be for a while yet it seems.

In all of that business, I have not had much time for writing, but I have been thinking a lot about it.  And reading what others have to say.  I have to be careful not to let reading take over my writing time.  But, I have found some lovely things to read...

KokBlog
This is a blog written by a Johanna Kindvall, a swedish woman who lives in New York City.  She uniquely combines beautiful illustrations with stories about food.  Each post is a sweet surprise.

Talk to the Trees
This sweet sweet blog is written by Rachael Caringella, a young woman living in Utah.  She makes all sorts of creations and writes beautiful, thoughtful posts about life, love, and creating.  And her dogs.

Four Leaf Clover
Four Leaf Clover is written by Eva, a vegan living in Switzerland, though now Britain, I believe.  Her posts are filled with hope and excitement about living and discovering life.

I hope you enjoy some of these as much as I do.  I so appreciate the work of all the writers I enjoy, and am so grateful to always have inspiration so close at hand.
