September at a Glance

Our flower-selling season is officially over. Went to see Practical Magic on opening day with margaritas. I got to watch the sunset on the side of the road, eating charcuterie with some lovely ladies, and became obsessed with onion balsamic jam… And got to spend the afternoon with my two favorite midwives. Our decade-long friendship is the best thing that came out of midwifery school… Yearly mammogram. If you’re forty or above, remember to schedule yours.

I noticed the sunlight changing. It’s my favorite time of year.

Lots of sports pickups, drop-offs, and games. Weekend visits from the college kid. So nice to have everyone around the table. It’s officially roast-a-chicken-a-week and drink-bone-broth-for-breakfast season.

Our chickens are molting and looking scrappy. They are SO old, I’m wondering if their new feathers will grow in gray?

I’ve tried to rebuild the habit of writing and taking photos every day. I’ve reached out to some brands and magazines to try to get featured again. We’ll see how that goes…

I had my first photoshoot for the first time in years. Yes, giving posing directions to people still gives me anxiety.

I stood for countless hours and looked out at the ocean through the window at work. It’s quiet now that the summer people have gone home. I’m rereading a book I read before, Frozen River. It’s so good.

I made a big Mabon/equinox meal, only to realize my kid had an away game, and it was just my husband and me. The thought of being an empty nester in a few years was a bit crippling.

I’ve floated the idea of getting another dog a few times.

I will keep working on it.

Thats all for now.
